First of all, I'll admit that my eye balls are old and I wear bifocals, but for the life of me I couldn't get this image to properly focus in my minds eye. I couldn't figure it out for a while, but it is the effect of over sharpened imagery on the white cards. If you look at the top of the white cards, you see a black outline - that usually is the result of over sharpening or going crazy with the unmask control. Also at the left corner of the Ace behind the Joker card is what looks like a burn mark - that is another sign of over sharpening. A little more lighting and less sharpening would have made this at least a 9 if not a 10. I think an 8 is reasonable though because the composition is nifty and well thought out. |
