Looks like a Royal Flush sitting there....... no, my eyes deceive me.
How much is on the table?

Dee,
Sorry, gambling is prohibited on this board :lol:

Very rich texture and colourful, luv it!
Keep them coming :wink:

Wow. I like that image.

You're really into colour saturation, aren't you?

Me thinks there are some specific film types, some of which I keep stored in our fridge, that you should experiment with.

How come the chips have no value written on them?

Good colour scheme - red, blue and white. Traditional American patriotic colours (and you list your location as Canada..?!)

Another red & blue masterpiece. These are becoming your signature colours. This works extremely well. Lighting is good and DOF gives a nice feel.

Well, the French flag does use those colours (and in the order the chips are lined up in) and Canada was a French colony... well, part of it anyway.

There is no royal flush on the table. The top cards with pocket kings wins, cause he's got quads (four of a kind). The bottom cards with the A Q hearts goes all in with the highest possible flush, a very strong hand. But not today, he loses to the quads.

Oh. nice picture by the way.

yup!
royal flush beats four of a kind in this hand!!!

i have NEVER got 4 of a kind in hold 'em !

or a royla flush for that matter

Gee I just thought it was a pretty picture :oops:

btw, it was hard adjusting DOF in this shot so that u can still read the other person's pocket cards...

can u guys tell what he has?

Well all I can see everywhere are kings. Guess all the queens are still indoors after Saturday's Mardi Gras :lol:

i think u r wrong...

the royal flush (10 J Q K A same suit) is the best hand in poker..it beats the other guy's 4 kings....

Posted: **Tue Mar 08, 2005 6:08 pm**

haha
yup!
i made sure i did that to show the best hand possible...

oh, and something else that goes hand in hand with poker:

Dee - although I like this shot I think it would have been a lot better shot in a cocoon and instead of a low viewpoint and higher one IMO. The reflections in the glass are very distracting.

Posted: **Tue Mar 08, 2005 6:56 pm**

What did you use as a background?

Posted: **Tue Mar 08, 2005 7:06 pm**

Chris..i agree about the distracting refelctions...

both the poker shot and the martini were shot on black velvet with incandescent lighting...
