I suspect this has gotten DNMC'd to death because it is a subtle detail, but I do recognize the bicycle brand playing cards. Nice out of the box thinking on this. Perhaps a bit of a shoehorn. Maybe. I won't ding it for that, however. The scene appears a bit dark, but otherwise, I like it.
I understand the picture but IMO it DNMC. I think a lot of other people will see it that way as well. Other than that your lighting is not right. there is motion in the gun and on the other side of the table.
Interesting interpretation of the challenge (and refreshing after seeing so many wheels and chains). Wish the technicals were a little stronger so I could give it a higher score, but it gets points for originality!
I know that they are 'cards made by "bicycle"' but that is a bit of a stretch for this challenge. Sorry. However, the image is well exposed and in focus so I hope you don't get the brown from the DNMC crowd.
Nice use of humour in the shot. I'd like to see some more saturation and use of colour. Good composition. I'm actually quite surprised you're the first person to use bicycle cards. On another site I'm a member there was 4 or 5 people in a bicycle theme that used cards as the theme.
Great OOB thinking. Would like to see a little more of the hand holding the gun and it really needs more vibrant colors. The muted color look doesn't work.
