Again, the thought was better than the finished product! Lots of seven letter words on the board and I'm left with a 'lucky' one on the triple word score.
Cropped slightly from original. Colour, Contrast, Clarify, Saturation, Resize, Unsharp Mask in Paint Shop Pro 7.

Very creative idea. One tiny thing I notice is that the tiles that spell "fortune" are slightly out of focus. In this shot, I think that having the "fortune" in sharp focus and then letting the far side blur a little would be a little better.
The soft focus hurts my eyes. I think this would work better had the focus been better. lighting is ok. I wonder if there were some other angle you could have taken this at to add some visual appeal? The words definately look set up, I'm thinking that I"d like this to look like a real game. I also am not sure I like the background. looks like pieces of paper put together to make a white background? kind of looks tacky. ~Heather~
Nice job. Very creative. I'd have left out two words (e.g. battery and shutter) to have 7 words of 7 letters on the board. Perhaps I didn't get all the sevens and what you did was just fine.
A nice idea that meets the challenge. The lighting to the right of the image looks a little off, and the seams of the paper sheets/tiles that the scrabble board sits upon are a very slight distraction. Apart from that though you have captured an original idea for this challenge. Good luck!
nice shot, but i probably would have focused on the word fortune rather than deeper into the board. also, the lines in the bg on the periphery of the board are distracting.
