Thank you all for your comments. I appreciate your opinions and willingness to share them.

I recognize the variation in lighting was an issue for many of you. It was intentional to under-light the cards in an attempt to emphasize that they weren't to be seen by others (i.e., the other card players). Your feedback lets me know that I failed to pull it off the way I intended, especially since Amandalore is the only one who got that impression and she was apparently up all night commenting on all the pictures.

One of my favorites for this challenge. I predict a top 10 finish. Well done!

good idea. the light is a litte dark on the hand of cards. I realize the subject is the lenscap, but the eye is still drawn to the foreground.

Would be nice if the faces of the cards were a little brighter, but I like how you fit the lens cap into the picture.

Nice parody and a good pic overall, but I think a bit more light on the cards would be helpful.

Nice but the whole shot has a very distinctive red cast over it, I would have preferred this shot with a cooler white balance.

Nice idea.

nice job, I like how you chose to leave the player's hand of cards not lit to give the photo that sense of secrecy

I would never bet a lens unless that card was an ace of hearts!

Bad lighting on the cards. It takes away from the rest of the picture.
