 Simply some cards fanned out with the Queen of Hearts a top and backlit. I know there's a hot spot on the right side, but this was more of an experiment than anything else. I like the idea though it didn't come out quite as I was hoping it would due to poor setup and little preparation (possibly equipment too) so I'm not expecting anything too impressive in the score arena.

Still was a nice diversion for a few minutes work.

You know, this is one of those photos that is so subtle that I passed it right by the first few times I was rating ... and then I viewed it while in just the right mood and, Bingo! It clicked. Its just so darn delicate and monotone that you have to look closely and then concentrate on patterns, subtle contrasts, shadows, focusing details, light gently seeping through ... I ended up adding multiple points to my first rating. Nice image. Thanks for sharing.

Cool idea. Nice effect. Seems like it could have been a little lighter.
