This would have worked better for me with a steeper angle from the left. As is, the slight rotation and slant seem unintentional.

The elk totally disappears into the background. I knew I was missing something, but I hate to search to find it.

You might have gotten away with less blur to define the background ("Office") for the viewer, but otherwise very cute.

Blazing By

It's a good photo with great DOF, but other than very slight blur on the outer feathers, I don't see any motion blur in the background.

Not My Eyeshadow!

Definitely achieved the right effect. My wife was standing over my shoulder when I came to this and she said "Is that Mac?! Blasphemy!"

I like the fact that you stayed uniform with the card colors, but I keep thinking how apropos it would be if you'd chosen the King of Hearts. (Suicide King)

Gentleman's Club...Not Anymore!!

Very nice. My only complaint would be that the hand is a little washed out. Some might complain about the shadows in the hair, but I like the darkness.

And with the fall of the King and Queen the War ended

I like this photo a lot, but the depth of field seems a little too narrow. If you could have managed to move the focus forward about 3/4" it probably would have worked out better. (There's some of the front board that's in focus, but the back of the king/queen are OOF.)
