A very good effort in taking a shot that does not follow the theme completely but yet tries to invoke the viewer mind that theme lies in the shot somewhere. And we clearly see that in the title bars of these monopoly cards. It's been years since I've played that game, so I cannot give you a judgement on the concept of shot, but in terms of technicality and composition, it is very good. The DOF is only a fraction off, but the viewer can still read the prints. However, shouldn't all the blue cards be present in this shot if we were to monopolize the game? Overall 8.

Here again a good shot where less is MORE. Fantastic idea, creative as can be. Love it. Justine.

i like the monopoly cards...just wish the background was different because the white is so stark and sort of washes right into the cards. good fun subject though.

I like this idea very much. The only thing that takes away from the shot for me is that the cards fade into the background. But you could have intended it so I will not take away for it. Good focus and nice placement.

Thanks to everyone who left comments, With comments like these my score doesn't dissapoint me so much :-P I took a risk doing something "Artistic" in a challenge like macro... I knew I did too... I had some other macro shots that were of the same image, but closer up of the water drop. If you want to see my outtakes you can find them here //gaze.myparadise.org/pin.htm

I chose my favorite photo, I guess I should have picked a more technical shot, but I really liked this one for it's artistic value... I'm just glad a few of you enjoyed my shot :) thanks again fro the comments.
