Took about 10mins to get the shot in my living room and about 2 hrs to edit it.. Lots of dodging and burning on this one which i like doing at the minute..

Sometimes, i really wonder what r the key elements of a winning photo on DPC. i mean this shot is absolutely amazing and it has excellent lighting, composition, dop but still there pix ahead of it which "in my opinion" dont deserve. anyway. great shot.
The lighting on this one makes it a clear winner over all the other cards shots... Very dramatic and stylish... A kind of film noir..
Wish I could have voted.. Would have been at least a 9.
i am very surprised by the placing of this one - i expected it to he top 5. I guess you were hurt by so many images of the same theme. And yet this was so much stronger than those that you would have thought it would stand out.
nice mood... like how you've highlighted the strong white points. i'm really liking this image cropped below the eye as to me it just flows nicer. still, i think you'll do just fine as is.
I left a comment on another ace in the sleeve photo suggesting that the lighting should have been more subdued, with the focus on the ace in the sleeve. Now this image leaves me without an option. Got to give you 10.
