IMO the picture would of came across better if the cards in the hand would of been in focus instead of the ones on the table. Good setup maybe a little to arranged.

I personally wouldn’t say gambling is greed driven – but that’s only my opinion. To my taste image lacks contrast. Good luck!

Poorly lit. Looks like this is taken on asphalt? Why not on green felt or poker table or simply a table? It would be better withou the fingers barely showing.

If I knew anything about cards i might be able to tell if this was a good day for you, or a bad one? :-) Nice use of DOF!

I'd fold. If your up against a made straight or 2 pair, your a 4:1 underdog. At best, your a 3:2 underdog against 1 pair. Although, if you've gone all-in first I say nice semi-bluff.

Sorry, can't help it. I love Hold'em.

That's a lot of money & certainly depicts greed! Lighting is poor and composition is messy though.

I hope he catches the queen of hearts. The image almost seems too dark, but I get the feeling you were going for.

wonder if this would work better if the king and ace were the focus point

Concept is good, but tech is off.
Very wishy washy lighting, image seem off balance, it lacks vertical lines
