Description Natural: A term used when the first two cards dealt total 21, also called Blackjack.

I had trouble deciding which picture to upload... I have another version in full color. The only noticeable difference between the two was that you could see the color of the table in the other, which was a nice dark wood brown. Ultimately I decided on this one.

I like how the 10 is plainly in sight, but the ace is just slightly "peeking" up at you. Nice effect with this choice as well.

Great light and glow around the cards! I like the bit of red too, nicely done. Subtle but effective.

Beautiful shot. And I think you've made the right choice in choosing this version - even without seeing the other, I particularily like the fact that the only coloured thing is the red of the ace.

I think this one makes the piece more focused and yet more tense and mysterious. I like it.

We always call this hand a pontoon. Bank plz!

Nice shot, I like the lighting. Are you holding the card out of view?

Yeah, that was the hard part... I didn't want my ugly hand in the shot heh. Thanks for the comment!

MartinLundsvoll [2007-05-17 20:37:37 +0000 UTC]

I like the lightning! I dont know about the full desaturation though, I think the wooden color would go great with the rest of the picture, maybe a slight desaturation to tone it down, but not more than that
