 Kind of a last minute idea. Shot this at home with a set of dominoes that were collecting dust in the game closet. I had to shoot this around 50 times in order to capture the exact moment before the nine fell. I wish I had used a surface other than our mirror on the wall due to the double reflection, but oh well.

Didn't really do to much as far as processing. Opened in Bridge, adjusted exposure, desaturated, cropped, removed two areas of sensor dust, re-sized and submitted.

Nice use of the mirror. Cool shot and way to keep the light balanced enough to not have a lot of blow outs on the white surfaces.

Great timing with the domino effect! Nice take at the challenge! Showing 9 pieces would have added another element of 9 in the shot...

i like the angle. i like the way it looks like the 9 domino should not be able to stand like that.
