Nice candid work - great catch on the expressions of the spectator and the player at L bg. Could be half as compressed (looks pretty jpeggy, esp on the board). Did you stretch this vertically to fit the frame? The heads seem elongated.
Good job on actually having people playing the game! How would this have looked shooting over one man's shoulder to make the viewer feel they are part of the game? But it's nice anyway.
Good shot I think if you could of taken this with a zoom you may of been able to get more of the background out of focus. Still I like the fact that its a candid shot of people actually playing a game vs a pile of game peices.
I can't help comparing this photo to the Mah Jongg photo, and finding that this one captures something a lot deeper in the attitudes and expressions of the participants. This really meets the challenge criteria more than most photos I've seen, because it shows us the people playing the games, and we can see the enjoyment, the concentration, the draw of the game, and the tension between the players.
I wish I could explain this better.......but is there something odd going on with the heads of these people? They all look very long??? Maybe I am imagining it.
