lol..

well done

how did you take off the names of the others without photoshopping?

you have altered the image!...........it would appear you used PS for this...........you might want to change this before it gets removed.

Looks like a good hand you've got there. Nice take on this = )

Thank you Mod for letting me know, I am going to post the picture without taking off names!
Thank you all for your comments!

Edit: Done Mod, thank you again!

real cards entail a lot of nonverbal interpretation... can't be present on the computer screen... but it does help with probability determination

I like this type of gambling the best too

I really like the colors here, well shot = )

It's gorgeous inside!

Sorry this one doesn't impress me, too easy to photograph a crowd.

That isn't exactly constructive now is it friiskiwi? Quality and difficulty aside, this fits the theme I'd say. Most of us at some point have entered something that others might label as too easy or unimpressive, yourself included. If you don't like an image vote low and move on, or give some constructive criticism.

Friiskiwi, trust me on this, I sifted through nearly a 1000 shots from this event and out of them maybe 3 or 4 I was considering entering because it just didn't show the emotions I was looking for. In fact, if you look at it in high res, you'd see just about every emotion on some face or another in the crowd, IMO, making it more on theme than most.

Thanks for your comment Locks

Criticism accepted, I apologize and totally agree that I too have entered many uninteresting photos.

@ friiskiwi Now if only more of us could have that kind of attitude this place would be a lot more friendly!

lol! you all are very diplomatic! friiskiwi, i have to thank you though! and locksmagic too! i would have looked at it and moved on, but this conversation made me look in hi res and really take stock of the faces and emotion shown. when you look at a group and see they are not really a group but a conglomerate of individuals. so... keep making comments, good and bad, cause in the end it really helps!

oh! and author, the couple toward the front are holding hands, i think that is so sweet, and lovely! good image, thanks to all who make comments! and thanks author! good luck!

Nice capture of humanity, and great DOF

I think it's kinda funny to see the peeps that are sneaking a peak at the camera.. hehehe.. nice cluster image... lots to look at!!!
