Well I took the tips from my previous thread and tried to incorporate them into these shots. Hopefully they are better and challenge worthy as my 300d went to the shop yesterday for a few weeks.

All taken 11-05-05

Comments and critique wanted, even if it's bad I can take it:D

Thanks for looking,

    I like the last one best, but it is a little Dark, have you done any color correction or auto correcting on it? Hope you dont mind, but I did a little correction on it myself. I tend to like this one a little better.
    I DO like #1, I like the green better then the White. It feels more warm then the one with the white Background....MUCH better! My vote is on #1 and #3

    I like the 2nd... Feels like the hidden camera... Plus, if you play poker enough, you know that hand does come up!! (and you know what it feels like when it does!)

    These are better Eric!

    I like the last one with the chips in motion. Cool shot! Makes me miss the ol' gambling days at Vegas. :cry

    I like the second one. It is well composed and I love the sense that I've been let in on the gambler's secret.

    This would have been a great one for the "First person" challenge several months ago. Lynn won that one with her great snowball pic.

    I also like this, the green is a much better background from before, it really sets the poker mood, I'm also a fan of the hidden camera effect.

    I like this one as well. Definitly makes me think texas hold em when I see it.

    I'm partial to the last one. Love the feeling of movement.
