Thanks. I kinda thought that when submitted the picture. I just was not being very creative at the time and could not think of anything else.

I just stumbled across this image. Constructive Comments- Try not to take a picture like this from straight above. This is how we ALWAYS see dice. Your aperture setting at 14 brings the whole image in focus. try setting your aperture as high (low number) as you can so that the background is blurred, the focus should be on the dice. the used dice also hurt the image. the scuffs on the top don't help. Old can work, but its gotta be really old. And try moving the light around, some long shadows may have helped this image.
Good luck in future challenges.

Sorry, this has no impact for me. Colors seem a little washed out.

flash seems a little bright on the right dice. Also, im not fond of the centred composition.

The glare off the closest die is a bit distracting

A bit overexposed I think....or maybe the light was too close to the objects.

Like it! Simple yet compelling.

Focus seems to be on the green surface and not on the dice and so the image as a whole seems out of focus as the dice are the "eyes" and therefore the main subject of the image. Using a smaller apature to ensure everything is sharp, or using manual focus to get the tops of the dice in focus would have been better IMO.

nice shot! only thing i would change would be to find a way to make the red and green pop more rather than blend together as they kinda do here. but nicely executed
