 nothing spectacular in the setup. It just took a lot of work to make the tiny cards. I hope that people like the originality. I think that there's something funny about the angle or something, but I'm not exactly sure what's wrong.

Clever idea and nice props. I'm undecided if I'd like it more colorful or not; I'm guessing you checked out other versions as well.

LOL, took me a moment...Good execurtion. The 3-d effect of the cards being held by the "players" made the difference for me. Technically, very good,

I'm not a fan of the coloring, it gives it a bland feeling when I think if the J Q and K were red the image would have a lot more impact. It might also help if the ground they were set on was more black.

I really like the idea though, it took a bit of staring to figure out what was going on ;)

nice idea , creative and well staged ... lighting is not as balanced as a staged shot should be to me ... seems dull ... great idea though

I have viewed this 5 times now. I still am having trouble relating this to the challenge. I can see where you wanted to go with your concept, just didn't do it for me. Family does not come to mind. Well composed - yes. Good lighting and creative. Just not for family IMO.

lol - I do like humor. A family of cards is a family after all. Maybe brighten up the colors a tad

Cute set-up here and such a neat idea. I don't really like the sepia or yellow hue, though. I think that desaturating everything but the red would have been neat and appropriate. This had to have taken A LOT of time to set up. Kudos and extra points for that and your creativity.
