Oh how I only wish to see a hand like that
I would have like to seen the background sharpened just a bit

i love this shot! the backround props are perfect, the cards have that worn look, and the shallow dof just finishes it off!

Nice set up.
Well carried out aswell.
I like it.

I like the composition (compared to the other "card shots")...a dominant OOF background suggesting the game,bets,drink etc and then the cards close up to the viewer in the foreground.

I dont like such a shallow depth of field here. It just looks strange. Open it up and bring the background into better focus. I do like the sharp blacks against the muted brownish background. Good photo!

Too bad there's just some toonies involved ;)

thank you, thank you, thank you for taking the playing card idea for the challenge and interjecting some creativity into it to produce an interesting and well-made shot. elements are well chosen and arranged. like that you used a use set of cards, goes well with the other elements and the warm lighting. nice use of shallow dof. one of two highest scores of 9 for this challenge.

This is a good picture.

I am honestly a little bored of pictures of poker hands. That aside I like the shallow DOF you've utilized here.

Oh, yes. It is good to have it in hand. I like the background with the ring and watch on the table. I also like that the cards are used - not brand new. 7.

nice focusing and good hand lol
02/07/2007 12:49:55 PM
this would be stronger if the cards were clean/new ... I like that the focus is sharp and the DOF and composition are good

nice job on a detailed background
