 Circular Poker Chips interestingly arranged in rows hopefully creating delightful lines. Blue chips possibly in the shape of the ribbon I won't be close to. All sitting on a poker table top.

oh, and yes I see the blueish colors on the top edge, top left. Did my best on those parts especially to get most red color out and make it at least blue.

Hi from the C Club!

Brilliant shot!!!

First impressions, the blue chips look a little odd there with no rhyme or reason. Then I read yoru description and reasized that Yes, it is a blue ribbon. Well Done. Unfortunately , you will not find that many eople that will look at your shot that long to figure it out. But I love it , now I realize what it is!

You are tack sharp, clean straight lines, DOF is great, your POV is good(ish)/ with the blue chips where you have them they throw the pattern off, there are gaps in between the lines, which throws the eye off.

Don't stop your creative side just because of that, you got a great score and placement

Nice idea, but if the blue were closer in, it would have put them is focus, 5.

Is there a specific design that the blue chips are supposed to make? Did you try it with only 1 blue chip? Also since the blue chips are clearly supposed to be the main subject, I probably would've made sure that the top row was in sharp focus.

this was a very good idea...to bad you didn't make a circle of the blue chips...that would have really made this shot
