Okay...I am going to be honest with you here as I believe that is what you want from me.

I gave this a 6. That is above average score from me. It is within the challenge. It is clear and good colour.

BUT...

...it is busy. There is way to much happening in the shot and therefore doesn't keep me within the photo for too long. There is no wow factor involved as compared to my high scorers. Also whilst the diagonal is there I want you to do something for me. I want you to look at another image, then close your eyes for a few seconds. Then open them straight onto this image. Then be honest....what do you look at first, second, third etc...and then your eyes are suddenly out of the image. There is nothing holding them there...is there?

That is why I gave it a 6.

Hahaha...this is funny. I got very drunk the other night (I rarely drink) and we all (7 of us)sat down to Texas Poker. In two hands I cleared all the chips on the table. And in the last round I was sitting on two Aces. And then I voted on your image yesterday...hmmmmm!! I gave you a 6...hehehehe!!

Nice focus and depth of field. Nice to see the stakes on the line in the background. Image seems ever so slightly tilted to the left, though.
