This picture here is like your trying to catch the card , so it won't fall to the ground . It's a really good picture . I like it . It has a lot of dark colors in there to make it look more interesting and more entertaining .
this shot is superb! if it doesn't ribbon, it will be because not enough people tie it to the challenge. who knows? you may get lucky...what does your reader tell you? hey, do you know what i scored this the first time through? do you know what i'm going to score it now? do you know if i changed my mind?
This is a very technically sound photo. Lighting is perfect. The only thing I would have done was cropped a little more on the left side. There is more space from the fingers to the edge on that side. Otherwise.... strong entry and good technique. 8
One of the more interesting shots in this challenge. A little tenuous on topic. Card doesn't look quite "on," maybe a faster shutter speed would capture more sharp detail(I'm assuming this was captured while you were tossing the card). Lighting is about perfect for the effect.
I see this as defying authority. I am trying to figure out why the artist chose the Kind of Clubs. I am sure there was a reason. I like the lighting and the shape contrast of the linear shape of the card and the curves and shadows ow the subjects hands and in the hint of his face. Captivating photo.
