I'm afraid it's another self-portrait I'm inflicting on you :)
I liked the idea of using a poker setup for this, but I guess I didn't get time to explore it fully. Nevertheless, this one seemed like it hit the mark well enough to enter.
Lighting is a little bit of a mismatch again but I think I managed it OK enough not to look too odd. I wanted to keep some shadow on the eyes from the hat but not quite got the look I was after. Imported in Lightroom for levels and curves. Dodge and burn and sharpening in PS then save for web.

I like his smirk. One little touch that might've turned out cool would be to allow the cards to be reflected in his glasses. Maybe have an Ace or Pair of Kings reflected? -BB
