Greetings from the Critique Club!
First impression: I like this shot, esp the oof poker chips flanking the cards. But would like to have seen it shot from slightly higher up.
Artistic: The red looks a tad on the pinky side (however I am not at my own computer at the moment), but I find the selective desat works well. I don't feel that the deck of cards to the right adds to the shot very much.
Technical: The crop on the left is pretty tight to the cards; I'd've allowed more room for the cards on the left and cropped in on the right. A more diagonal angle, perhaps from a left corner to the opposing right one, would have made a stronger image. Lighting OK for this kind of shot. The red smudge (meant to be part of a chip?) by itself just below the cards, to the left, is a bit distracting. Your pp is fine and not overdone, it enhances the idea nicely without taking away from it.
Overall: A very good attempt, and score, especially as a first entry here! You're on the right track, just keep shooting and entering.
Feel free to PM me,
Susan |

| Sadly, the out of focus red (and white) in the foreground is what my eye gets drawn to, and it becomes a major distraction from anything else going on in the image. |

| Great idea, but it looks like like you missed spots of red and left things b/w on the far chips |

| DOF seems a little too shallow for me. I'd like to see all the cards clearly. |

| I like the thought and setup for this shot. I'm not a fan of the saturation. |

| Very effective photograph. Love the colour/B&W you used. Personally I like a little more in focus, say all of the cards, or the top of the cards and the stack of chips in tha back, or whatever. |
