 This 20-sided die, with its triangular faces, holds such power that it is feared by all save the Dungeon Master. A single roll of this die can change the fate of heroes!

:)

To get the triangular bokeh, I made a custom lens filter from the cardstock from the back of a notepad, cutting a triangle out of the center. I had to try several sizes before it was small enough to shape the bokeh.

Hope you enjoy this shot!

Thanks for posting the info about your filter. I thought it was some kind of reflection. Looks cool.

I really like the look of this image. Nice colors, dof, and processing.

This photo really doesn't jump off the page when I browsing the general lay out, so I do not know if you will get a lot of votes because I don't know if a lot of people will relate to the smaller image and take time to look closely, but I hope they do. It was your title that made open a full-view and I am glad I did (so good job there). Maybe not the best photo technically either (from my perspective). However, there are a lot of elements I like: subject matter, the up close view of the die, the positioning of the die and the bag. I gotta rate it up there!
