 My first challenge submission with my new digital rebel.

I know this is shown after the challenge but for those of you who don't understand, playing dreidel is a game played during Channukah. The reason this picture has winning in the title is because the gzme is usuaally played over fake money that is actually chocolate called gelt. The hebrew letter that happens to be facing up in the picture is one of the four letter inscribed on a driedel. That letter is known as gimel. If you land with a gimel facing up after you spin the dreidel, you win the pot.
Just to clear that up for those of you who might be questioning the title.

Reasons it might be voted down - the above description describes something that might be unknown or unfamiliar to most people. Misunderstanding might vote it down, as well as the natural vignette in the photograph.

be nice if you'd taken the trouble to provide some contextual background to this. It's nice to see a dreidl, though.

In the spirit of honest feedback, I truly do not understand the connection between the image and "Winning" in the title. Does this item relate to a holiday game of some sort?

a spinning dradle might have been more interesting. The scene is a little still.
