The simplicity of this works. Great detail of the weave of the tie. I like the askew sense of it like coming home and just throwing it off. It works well in combination with an excellent title.

Comment by Rikki:
There is a lot of visible "eraser" marks surrounding your necktie, the majority of which is underneath the knot itself. Hmmm. While the image is itself is ok, I think this would have been great had the dimple been included in the knot itself. This looks like a Four In Hand knot :) The edges seem a bit harsh possibly due to the removal of some elements i.e. the background. Good try but this image requires a bit more PP to be convincing. 5

The focus on this looks too soft.

Like the fact that only the two red aces are in color, but the cards are a little out of focus.

nicely composed and good dof. would have liked to see this with different lighting to make the cards pop more, i think.
