I had originally planned to use a Blackjack hand, and thought BlackJackpot would be a creative title. But then I decided to use a Royal Flush because it looks better, but forgot to change the title! I hope that didn't lower my average vote. Also, the only chip we had in the house was a $5 chip. I would've used a higher value if I had one!

very nice

Composition is superb here! Very good idea, simple and great at the same time. :-) Maybe lighting is too much for my personal taste on the bottom of the ace, but alltogether I like this a much!

A royal flush made its appearance at our weekly poker game just last week. Everyone was in awe :)

I'd have like to see a higher value chip to go along with this, but other than that this is a great shot.

Nice shot- the lighting could be a wee bit cleaner- some washed out spots on the cards. But I like It- you are obviously alluding to the casino making the money.. right? or is this a dream?

nicely focused. good contrast. good composition
12/05/2003 08:46:13 PM
Oh Lord! Only a five dollar table!

I like the arrangement, cards fanning from the coinpeice. Great shot!
12/04/2003 06:21:18 PM
Good color, I like the detail.

I like the concept, but think it could have been carried out better. First, the lighting seems too harsh and there seems to be glare coming off the whites of the cards. Secondly, I would have preferred a green felt background to mimick the kinds of tables that poker is played on. I also would have preferred to see real coin scattered about and in more abundance than the stingy single token in the image.

Great exposure - it's often hard to get such strong black and white elements without blowing either one out.
12/03/2003 03:39:41 PM
Only $5.00 on a hand like that. hehe.. Nice interpretation.
12/03/2003 03:15:12 PM
I like the contrast and use of selctive color patches. Nice.
12/03/2003 01:50:51 PM

simple but well presented
12/03/2003 08:35:00 AM
Looks more like poker than blackjack. Interesting idea, and nice shot, though.
12/03/2003 03:41:41 AM
Very nicely done. Slight glare on the chip, but that's a very minor point indeed.
