I suspect this has gotten DNMC'd to death because it is a subtle detail, but I do recognize the bicycle brand playing cards. Nice out of the box thinking on this. Perhaps a bit of a shoehorn. Maybe. I won't ding it for that, however. The scene appears a bit dark, but otherwise, I like it.

Very clever. Lighting is a little flat, could use just a bit of punch to wake it up. Otherwise, very cool idea. Two dead men.

LOL excellent idea! i would have never thought of it, i hope others get as much of a kick out of it as i did:)

I understand the picture but IMO it DNMC. I think a lot of other people will see it that way as well. Other than that your lighting is not right. there is motion in the gun and on the other side of the table.

haha. cool concept. too dark and flat, though. also, i'd like to see the deck in the frame completely or out of the frame altogether.

Good idea, bad colors. Looks too dull

Interesting interpretation of the challenge (and refreshing after seeing so many wheels and chains). Wish the technicals were a little stronger so I could give it a higher score, but it gets points for originality!

SO NOT COOL.

Cleaver!

Good idea, but I'd like to see who the gun is being pointed at

Not a good picture in my opinion.

I finally got it!

very clever interpreation of the challenge. I'm sure you will get a lot of DNMC's but I got it :)

However, the photo is kind of flat. The cards in the back left are distracting.

well this sure is original :D i would try to stick with shooting an actual bike next time
 05/14/2008 11:10:57 PM
interesting take on the challenge. I like how it sort of tells a story. good luck with the dnmc trolls though

I know that they are 'cards made by "bicycle"' but that is a bit of a stretch for this challenge. Sorry. However, the image is well exposed and in focus so I hope you don't get the brown from the DNMC crowd.

Nice use of humour in the shot. I'd like to see some more saturation and use of colour. Good composition. I'm actually quite surprised you're the first person to use bicycle cards. On another site I'm a member there was 4 or 5 people in a bicycle theme that used cards as the theme.

I don't see how this meets the challenge.
 05/14/2008 10:09:33 AM
Good out of the box thinking

totally different interpretation on challenge. I'm guessing "Bicycle" cards?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great OOB thinking. Would like to see a little more of the hand holding the gun and it really needs more vibrant colors. The muted color look doesn't work.

I'm all for creativity, but this goes a bit too far... I guess people not knowing the cards will be totally confused...
