Royal Flush X 2

Comment:
This is the last image - I saved it for last as I like the reverse imagery and the differences in the hands - kind of fools you if you only take a cursory glance at the image. I think it is a good composition, but not really worth a high rating - higher than a 7 or so. There just isn't anything interesting to look at. Again, just my opinion you understand.

Shuffle Up and Deal!

From an artistic standpoint, this works fine. It could also have worked with a higher shutter speed and a little more definition in the card shuffle. In either case, it is a nice image and composition. Nice job.

52 Card Pick Up

I held off on this image until I had done the rest because - well yeah, it's falling cards being scattered about. That's about it I guess. Nothing to complain about either. It's just a photo of falling cards - no background, no anything other than cards.

The Deadly "Queen of Hearts" Assassin Strikes Again
by mrchhas

Comment:
The technique is called "scaling" and it's a favorite staple of The Joker. In theory, using a card can be an effective "weapon" as the world speed record for a scaled card is 95 mph. Just thought you'd like to know. Just as a thought, instead of the Ace of Hearts, might have been fun to use the Joker. Get it?

Great image and one demonstrating something not normally thought of. Love the grain and imagery in general. Top fifteen if not a top ten.

UNTITLED

Comment:
I looked at this four or five times trying to get a handle on what the image was about as the title sure as hell didn't give a hint. :>)

Then I noticed the drops. Now that is really subtle - clever, but WAY too subtle. I think this technique could be used in any of the challenges so it may be something the author might want to try.

Aces Wild

I can't think of anything to say that would make any sense about this. I think I know what the author was looking for, I'm just not sure that it comes across as intended. In any case, from a technical standpoint, there isn't much to complain about.

One of my favorite "reality" shows. A good conceptual look at targets and card scaling - or the art of throwing cards. I like it - well done.

Flying Royalty

Took me a while, but I finally figured it out - after about four viewings. I'll admit it - I'm slow on the uptake sometimes. Call it advancing age. Good conceptual imagery. I think it could have used a little faster shutter speed, but that is a personal opinion and nothing that I should rate on.

Where Are You Joker ?

Comment:
I'm assuming that this is a reference to a Batman movie - none of which I have seen. :>) I'll just take it as a Batman thing - even though I'm not familiar with the mythology. :>)

I must be missing something with this extreme blur images - another that I don't get. Admittedly, I'm not up to total speed on popular culture, but this doesn't make any sense to me other than a vague image of a Joker card. What ever the concept was it doesn't make any sense to me - I'm sorry.
