Great comp but need to have more brilliant colors to contend for a top spot. Maybe playing with a combo of saturation and brightness adjustments in post processing or more light on the original shot. Just my opinion...
Definitely like the theme. Great minds think alike?... :) The felt seems a bit dark to me though. Also, I think it would have benefited more from a different angle. An interesting angle almost always seems to look better than a top-down view. What was the light source? On-camera flash or maybe an overhead light? I definitely like the shot, but would have shot at a different angle and brought more light into the picture. Great idea though and excellent clarity on the cards. :D
