 I wanted to do a shot using my new home "mini-studio", so... there you have it. Hope you like it, classic shallow depth of field.

Levels, contrast, exposure, cropped, removed dust spots, sharpened, noise reduction, resized, re-sharpened, noise reduction and added border.

My next task is to figure out how to bring out background colors without so much artifacting! Hopefully I won't get too many comments about it.

although the blue background does bring out the king and the blue stripe on the cards, it still doesn't seem right. maybe a different background? other than that, the shot is clear. good composition.
