Good use of depth of field. I find myself wishing for a bit more color (like a stack of blue or green chips), or a different color for the background. Overall, a fun shot!
good take on the challenge. but i feel a color tone adjustment could have produced a more dramatic image that would have stood out more in the competition. the linear shadow on the 5 of spades looks strange to my eyes. the feel here is much more of a snapshot, and the nice dof is let down by other elements of the image.
