I've been thinking about this challenge all week, but could not find any good ideas to do.

Sunday evening, I am cleaning some junk around the house and found these dice, then the challenge comes back in my head.

Originally I wanted to use a wide lens with the dice in the foreground and the throwing hand blurred back in the background. But, by the time I met my friend who was going to help me with the shot it was too dark to get the shot that I wanted so I had to settle for something else, I took around 30 shots and this was the one I decided to use.

Post processing:
Raw adjustments, Rotate, Crop, curves, shadows/highlights and sharpen.

I wish one day I can setup some kind of home studio where I can do these kind of shots indoor.

Now I know what "loaded dice" means, I'd never heard that expression before :)

nice action shot. the fiver appears to be a bit overlit to my eye, but a very interesting composition.

Like the b/w. Good composition, lighting, capture of the dice. I would change the look of the cash props though. Good luck.

How many time did you have to roll the dice to get the five and two to show up? good shot.

You are relying on the title to fit into challenge. I don't see how the photo by itself depicts a cheater.
