*Critique Club*
Great idea for the cheater challenge. It was such a great idea a thousand people did it. Not that I think thats bad for you, but it does seem to bore the voters as they look through 200 images to see the same idea over and over. For starters, there is nothing in focus. Your contrast looks good, but I think that the photo would have been better in color. I don't say that very often because I love bw. BW is great when there is alot of texture present and since this really doesn't have any, I would have chosen color. Poker chips are so colorful as well as cards, it would have been more appealing that way. As for you set-up of the shot, I think that you did well. You have the Ace hidden nicely in the cuff of the shirt, and I like the placement of the chips and deck of cards. You have a great camera and if I knew anything about it I would give you suggestions on how to get a better focused shot. With my camera, I would have had to use the macro setting to get a focused shot of your image. Hope this was helpful and I am glad you are entering challenges again. Welcome back to the insanity!!
