Wasn't going to enter, but just playing around with my macro with these cards on my desk.
Shot in RAW under soft white flourescents, adjusted color balance and fiddled with some other settings in the Pentax Raw editor, opened in PSElements and adjusted levels, desaturated everything except the red channel, then backed that off a little, big USM adjustment (high radius about 30%) to glow the card markings, messed around with some different borders and settled on this one.
Decided to enter against my better judgment. But oh well, after this many failed experiments how bad can another 5.x hurt.

This picture is very creative. It has two focal points, one being the cards the other one being the dice. I like how it has a repeating pattern with the cards (6666) and then the dice in front of it showing three on one and three on the other dice which equals six which I think is very creative. Also in the cery front on a different side of the dice it also shows six. So you can tell this picture was very thought out and i love how its just black and white, it really makes you see what the focal point is.
