Nice interpretation! I like the (extremely) narrow DOF.

I like the subject of a photo to be sharply focused. The entire hand is the subject so I would like to see all the cards sharp. I like the colors and the perspective and framing.

Never would have thought to do this kind of hand. Great!

I think this would have looked great with a little more DOF. Just enough so that the 10 card was only slightly out of focus.

Nice royal flush in diamonds. More DOF would be better, as the overall feeling is too-much out-of-focus, especially since the focal point on the ace is a subject that is not that distinguishable from the other cards.

Great idea for this challenge. That little speck above "A" is bugging me, but probably only me :) Great picture.

Excellent photograph! Love the effect you created with the crisp focus on the Ace! Excellent positioning of the cards also.
