Well it is oversharpened and unfortunately I just don't have the time to get back to re-doing this. So I will be expecting comments on this one. Oh and I added a frame - sure to be a crowd pleaser lol.
Not sure if people will like my take on DOF. The card is hanging and I did some hand contortionism. I use black and white to hide my color errors and crappy background. So here it is! One last luxury before WPL!
Score prediction: 5.3111389765
Edit: Sorry to anyone who looked at this on a monitor that showed all the details of the background! It bummed me out to see it. The intent was that you would see a black background. Looks good on my monitor lol

With playing cards, razor thin DOF still produces a sharply focused subject. On the downside, using the shallowist DOF possible can produce an image where the subject is disconnected from the rest of the image. This I feel is what is happening here. I think having the fingers more in focus would help connect the jack to the rest of the image.
Great idea.. Too bad you can't clone out the wire holding up the Jack. I think that's what that is. No worries though, you had a great composition and you executed it extremly well. Solid 7.. I'd love to see this in color after the challenge is over.
