Mahjong Tiles

One of my favorite games, Mahjong like photography, involves skill, strategy, and calculation, as well as a certain degree of luck.

That's a very nice shot of beautiful rectangles, great Dof. I never played this game, but it looks interesting.

More rectangles are hardly possible. Simple but very effective.

I've watched Pete play it on screen - it does look complicated! Nice shot.

I've seen skilled players play Mah Jong and have been completely bemused and befuddled about what's going on...it's a very visually appealing game though, just like this photo - super DoF and lighting Walter, beautifully composed

great idea, you made me smile

Love this game too, play a game daily on the comp. My true game was lost in a move.

I enjoy this game very much. I play it on the computer and I don't win very often. I hate it when I get down to about 10 tiles and I can see one is on top of it's match :-( Great image and idea Walter.

I have a very, very old ivory mahjong game in a beautiful wooden box! Passed down through the ages! Good shot... Nice sheen on the tiles!

Oooh looks complicated - can we play dominoes instead? :o)
