Well I had absolutely no idea what to do for either one of these challenges, so I typed in "risk" to a thesaurus and one of the synonyms was "gamble." Then this idea just hit me on the head. So I vacuumed off our extremely dusty pool table and grabbed my dad's poker chips and cards. I tried several different arrangements and my dad helped me design a layout. I'm happy with the final composition. Post processing was a nightmare. The colors were so bright and hard to make look right.
PP:
Open in Photoshop
Selectively hue and saturation adjust using "replace color"
Levels
Dust and Scratches
Reduce Noise
Save for web
Reduce Noises
Sharpen
Save
The only thing I wish I could change is the annoying spots on the felt. I vacuumed really good, lol, but there's those spots all over the table. I was extremely tempted to clone them out, but I resisted. :) Reducing the noise helped them a little. I hope it doesn’t affect my score.
