thanks guys
 
#2 has more "pop" but the whites look a little blown
the others look a little flat
IMHO
 
fair enough i will edit them a bit i think!

have a look now please
 
definitely more "oomph" now (y)
whites mebbe still a bit blown, bit I guess white is white is white!!!!!
 
First thing that strikes me is the Ace of hearts should be the other way up, probably just me though.
 
i wanted to highlight the ace a little. shame it has done but not for good reasons. i was aware of this but maybe next time i will stick to straightforeward ones.

any other comments about the photo?
 
3 doesn't look very sharp.
Looks well soft.

Number 1 and 4 look underlit, too.

Believe me, I'm no photography wizard, but those are just some improvements I would make.
2 is certainly my favourite.
I would agree with the others.
Lacks 'oomph'.
Is missing the 'wow' factor.
Try some abstract angles with a small depth of field.

Edit: I just had a read of that post and its well negative!
I thought I'd add some positives, too.
Its a lovely idea, very simple, and great contrast between the chips/cards and the leather.
 
Our local pub wanted some pics to advertise it's poker night.

I hunted around for ideas and ended up with something similar to:

I'd be inclined to go for a lower viewpoint and more limited DOF - far more interesting. :)

agreed.


rasmusrok1 - I like you first to shots their simple and sharp. But I think you could improve on your last two. I see that you've cropped in on 3? if you should just get closer in you'll get the same shot but better quality. The last one is a nice idea its just a bit soft. Don't be afraid to mess about let you mind run wild!!!! :LOL:

HTH
