    Some interesting stuff here, but to me there are two pictures:

    1. The players
    2. The Background

    It's difficult to put the two together; I think they're competing with each other

    Sorry, but I don't like the shadow beheading the player on the left…

    There's no shadow detail…

    I don't know what I'd have done; most probably got in closer, or zoomed in…

    I'm seeing some weird thing about the verticals; look at the jaggies on the hinge-lines on the windows/doors; almost looks if it's been scanned and the columns are slightly out of registration (think random horizontal shifts on a ink-jet printer) headscratch.gif

    Thanks for sharing!

    I like the shot

    The very strong contrast between the two players got my attention right away.
    light/dark as well as their opposing body positions.

    The Geometry I saw only after looking longer.

    If it were mine, I'd crop the foreground Foliage.

    I also liked the shadow, it caught my eye. In my mind I imagined a story where the elegant gentleman in darkness is the devil, and the hunched-over fellow on the right has wagered his soul on the outcome of the game.

    I noticed the "registration lines" in full screen on my monitor as well. Fwiw, the remainder of the composition was intentional, plugged blacks and chopped head. Maybe it didin't work. ne_nau.gif

    Here's an update with a slightly different crop and PP.

    I saw and said "oh, that's nice."
    If not now, when?
