levels on blinds behind dealer
curves adjusment. several things in there but similar to the urban acid action

Nice concept and good capture. My only complaint is the color balance. The whole image looks a little blue cast to me. Otherwise, I give it a 6.

Ahhh. Nice setup. ;^) A little noise in the image and I think your B/W points are off a bit. Is the right tilt intentional? Good luck in the challenge.

Nice Shot(and nice hand!) I might try cropping at the dealer's shoulder on the left to keep attention on the cards here.

nice idea, but needs work. the horizon is tilted without adding anything to the image. it could be a lot sharrper. and, the coloration is just on the edge where you should have gone just a bit further, taking it more to that 60s look, or where you should have pulled back to what is a little more realistic.

Funny! Seems to be an ugly green tinge to everything -- is white balance correct?

I like the concept and originality of this picture. Now if I could just get a hand like that. Good luck.

Cute idea. Whites looking a little funky. Maybe adjust your levels?
