 If anyone has ever played poker, you can understand this. A poker face must have a solid silence, or your hand will be given away.

This setup is very basic, those are my hands in the shot, I simply just set up a tripod and setup the 10 second timer, held my arms around the camera, and there ya go.

Nice take on the challenge. Composition, I can tell that's all there is to the table. Include part of an opponent to really convey the message. 8

for a "true" feel the cards should not be in "street" order ;)

I can almost hear the chatter around the table. Good hand though.

I don't know, seems like a good idea but something just doesn't work with it, no offence but it looks like you through this together in just under a min. Maybe a zoom in on the hand and leave everything else a bit blurred. 5

Clever! Told the story well. Very minor suggestion - wood table is such a large element in your shot and it's fairly busy and not blurry enough (and a bit ugly - sorry)

If you changed the table, I would have rated this photo higher.
