Clever comp and DOF.

Hard to tell, but it looks like the straight flush wins (3-7)....it appears that the other hand has two Queen of hearts, thus not playing with a full deck!! LOL Nice shot...not an easy one to make.

Guest		01-Sep-2006 11:15
did you have your poker face?! :)

Guest		01-Sep-2006 07:36
The dream hand indeed! Nicely thought and done!

Guest		01-Sep-2006 05:07
Great visual story Royald........

Coleen Perilloux Landry		01-Sep-2006 02:54
Wow, very clever and well done.

Michael Shpuntov		01-Sep-2006 02:08
That was also my initial idea, but then I saw your shot and realized it can't be done better.

Kathy Pedersen		01-Sep-2006 01:56
Very well thought out challenge shot!!! Love the red and white, yes hearts every where.....nice hand:))))

Yvonne		01-Sep-2006 01:32
Aha - you got the ace! Wondered who had it. Great & innovative!

Guest		01-Sep-2006 01:27
FANTASTIC!

Guest		01-Sep-2006 00:49
Just my luck! This is why I don't like poker! Very well composed. These shots are a lot more difficult than they look!

Cindi Smith		31-Aug-2006 23:49
I like this shot! The hands think he has! hehe

Sheila		31-Aug-2006 23:22
Excellent shot, creative, well thought out.

Char		31-Aug-2006 23:04
A super excellent shot Dave! GMV

Guest		31-Aug-2006 22:32
Hearts everywhere today!!! lol

John Beck		31-Aug-2006 21:53
An action shot!. Well done. I like the concept and execution.

Shayne		31-Aug-2006 21:37
Great concept ~ very very well done!!

Deborah Lewis		31-Aug-2006 21:30
Well Done - I really like this one! GMV

Eckhart Derschmidt		31-Aug-2006 21:05
Love the "player's" perspective - the focus on the opponent's rather than on the own ones. (Although, with a hand like that you don't have to care too much about the opponent!) Very well done!

Greg Harp		31-Aug-2006 20:25
Very creative, terrific shot.

wernere01		31-Aug-2006 20:18
The third 'card' interpretation. So we can start playing. Very well done.

Guest		31-Aug-2006 19:55
very cool!

Nicki Thurgar		31-Aug-2006 19:43
Very creative, nicely done!

chrisse		31-Aug-2006 19:02
Creative approach of the hearts-theme here, well done. chrisse

Silvia Roitman		31-Aug-2006 18:33

Guest		31-Aug-2006 18:22
Superb Dai (welsh for David :-)

Carole Stevens		31-Aug-2006 16:36

beverley harrison		31-Aug-2006 16:27
nicely done!!

Guest		31-Aug-2006 16:27
VERY nicely done! Love the minimal effect here -

laine82		31-Aug-2006 16:20
That can't be right, you two both having hearts up your sleeve...and not a poker face between you !!

Johnny JAG		31-Aug-2006 15:54
You lose, well thought out shot.

Jola Dziubinska		31-Aug-2006 15:47
Kenny-the-Gambler says so :) You got to know when to hold them Know when to fold them Know when to walk away Know when to run

Guest		31-Aug-2006 15:35
Hmmmm! are you playing hearts or poker well done in either case David

J. Scott Coile		31-Aug-2006 15:29
Excellent processing saturation touch Dave. Looks like she has you this time ;) Well done!

Robin Reid		31-Aug-2006 15:25
Good idea.

Al Chesworth		31-Aug-2006 15:23
Me thinks someone has a spare deck.

Bryan Murahashi		31-Aug-2006 15:03
Very nicely done. I'm all in;-)

Jen Bixler		31-Aug-2006 14:55
What a great image for your challenge...This would work well in my music gallery! ...You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, Know when to walk away and know when to run... Time for you to fold 'em!

Faye White		31-Aug-2006 14:53
hearts everywhere! very clever!

Dan Chusid		31-Aug-2006 14:42
Looks like a game of Hearts. I won't tell who's winning. : )
