Meets the challenge well, but isn't too exciting. Pictures of trinkets or doodads just aren't too compelling. 4

A little too close up on this I think. Would also help if the pieces (dice and background) were clean. Do what you can physically to control the environment, then use despeckle (or similar noise reduction) to minimize some of the other smaller specks. A true black background would be helpful here (pick up a black poster board for a couple bucks at local art store). In this case a minor adjustment to levels and contrast might have worked. All of the above is JMO of course. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

They look well-used ;-) I kind of like the off-balance composition; makes it feel like the die on top is going to fall off any second. A little soft but I think that works with the other signs of age on the dice.

Very odd green cast. Is that intentional?

I rather like this. The first impression is "lacks contrast"... but then you think about it for a minute, and the urban landscape pretty much lacks contrast so this picture is very much reflective of it's subject. In the DPC world of thing, I'll bet you're getting comments that it lacks contrast.

What's with the green tone? Night-vision?

IMO the haziness of this picture looks more like a newspaper photo.

There is a brooding, sombre feeling in this. I don't personally like the green hue saturation. Interesting composition though.

This has a rather ugly colour caste to it - as though the wrong white balance was set.
