Just learned to play Texas Hold-Um. Great game. Definitely a great deal of decision making goes into this game. I'd definitely hold um and go all in with my chips.

I don't feel that the image conveys instantly recognizable decision. Nice photo though.

At first, the link to the challenge seems to elude me. However the cards are placed down, not held, face up, not down. The player has decided to revela the hand. A stretch for me, a weak link to the challenge as I feel no anticipation of a decision, no emotion charged with the image. Alone the cards are well shot, however the image at this size has suffered from compression artifacts or over sharpening. They are well placed against the negative space, but this is an excercise in cropping and light control. It does not keep my interest. Add some text in the lower left corner however and this image could become powerful as an advertisement or poster. A good capture, but lacking in the challenge links when compared to others in this round. I offer a 4.
