Post: Auto Levels. Layer adjustments for brightness/contrast and hue/saturation (both 75% opacity). USM. Clone, Burn, Heal....a lot...what ever imperfections the eagles amongst you see just know that there were about a 100,000,000 more! And I exagerate only slightly. Resize. USM.
Fortunately it has not a change in you know what. Enjoy!

I have studied your image and have the following to offer:
Composition/perspective – this is a very well shot image – very crisp lines, clean with no distractions of any kind, focus is spot on. Being a minimalist image, the composition – the angle of placement, balance of the two sides, is perfect. The alignment and specific placement is quite well done. It is obvious you thought about the geometry you were creating. The clean background almost gives this a 3-D look with your perspective. While the viewer has to assume it is on a mirror, being so clean it makes you think a second longer to make sure. Overall, well done composition and a good clean shot.
Color – well done! All the colors here are strong and very well developed. There is no bleed over into the white areas on the spots and the white dice only slightly show reflected color from the red dice…just a tinge pink on the front side – good control over levels and saturation.
Lighting – very well done, especially since it is on a mirror. There are no glares or odd reflections. The dice reflection is only slightly darker than the real dice – very good control there.
Challenge requirements – this may be where it fell short in my opinion. While the implication is there by the numbers you have showing, there is no real element to imply an actual act of cheating or that the die themselves are loaded.
Overall/my opinion – this is one of the cleanest images I have viewed in recent days. Although I think it falls short in the challenge requirements, technically this is a strong image and clearly demonstrates excellent camera technique and a lot of attention to details. Well done!
Well balanced, nice angle, good use of color and really good DOF. THe challenge calls for the cheating to be obvious, and I don t see that here (it is subtle though). But still a good image.
