Hi James,
Nice capture, I like the creative nature of the image. The sence of motion in the hands is nicely done. For me the image seems a little dark for my taste & the brightness in the background just seems to clash with the overall image. The table & chips are nice but a bit soft for me. I think with a few minor ajustments this would be a dynomite image.
love how you can only see half his face, and how his hand is moving. lighting is awesome. though im not sure about the white in the background, its starting to grow on me. really interesting shot
I really like the shadow covering half his face. The white light thing behind him is a bit distracting - I think the photo would be even more powerful without it.
