Positives:
As a B&W image on gambling taken by a USA photographer that makes this is a 'good' image. It is an expression of USA pop culture.

Technicals:
It looks like a nice B&W image with a full range of tones from pure black(0,0,0) to pure white(255, 255, 255). I could be wrong. The forearm is slightly overexposed. Composition is generally good but not exceptionally well with a centered composition. Other technicals are good.

The Challenge:
This meets the challenge very well for an American audience but not so well for a non-American audience which will affect it's score slightly. Non-American audiences would score it lower.

Suggestions:
Offset the main subject slightly from center positioning is the only way to photographically improve this image. Subject matter and other photographic qualities changes are different issues.

I'm not sure what this has to do with Pop culture but I love this shot. Great subject , effective B&W, great framing - I like the way the hand goes out of the frame with the second head in the background. 10

Poker is definitely an "in" thing these days. Compelling, well done shot IMO. I like the focus, both literally and in the guy's expression. Nicely done.
