congratulations on 1st place

I think this is very nice. Great set-up, lighting and preparation. I just wish the model had even a trace of a smile and looked like she desired the product a bit more

Interesting angle = )

I checked out her nails Mossy, they don't look chewed up to me, I think she has to different shades of nail polish, maybe y you see it that way. Still the best picture here = )

Lovely entry author.

Don't you just hate it when people just click a snapshot of their every day life? (great shot!)

This is amazing. How did you do it with the speaker and notes. This could certainly be in a magazine or billboard.

This is a great image. The idea is awesome and lighting perfectly sets the mood for the image. Great job author.

ah ah ! nice !

Oh man.... this is so disturbing.... and so very clever... lighting is wonderful and that label is great

nicely made...
my fav

Nice entry....love the focus on the knife.

Nice... but they'd probably cut themselves if they held the knife like that

It would have been better if the model had some fake press on nails, her chewed ones detract from what is an otherwise well set up photograph.

Very nicely done, I can totally see this as an ad =)

Congrats Karaflazz awesome shot, wonderful lighting, could be straight out of an old detective film

Congrats for your first place and for making it to the next round!

Congratulations, this one was always going to be hard to beat.

I just ran out of black...

Why? There are still 15 places to fight for

I give up!

You are setting the bar high.

Awesome , I love seeing the setup in your sbs

Really like the lighting (get your kicks, on route 66?)

Great entry

I think I hear snoring

Utterly stunning

Congrats great photo

Nicely done, as usual.

Congrats for winning this first Jackpot contest, great entry. Love the mood of it

Nice angles.

Wax on... Wax off...

Superb. Great idea.

oh man.... that is soo...sooooo creepy awesome work

like the balance between the light and dark

VERY nice

i just thought of something. that entry of the chap throwing the ace is probably your crooked dealer finishing up your hand, egh ???

great portrait. good

true the comment, I think those who have lost the watch. I would put more modern, it would have been less valuable. wonderful photos

very crisp image -- great light -- like the eyes

Pretty funny. I do like the "bait"

I just noticed the pistol. and old school dial up. nice touch indeed. And I take it you are waiting for your crooked dealer that is in your employ to deal you your fifth card, seeing that you only have 4.

xtremely kool shot. dark, moody, sinister. I am even thinking that while you were raking in the chips in that rigged game, you were also on the phone participating in either a bookie operation or maybe a wire fraud of some sort ???

the mousetrap could be a Freudian thought for the Italian crisis. great photos, good

very nice light and composition -- like the DOF

super shot, great lighting

Very creative and well done especially the USB bait. Lighting is perfect.
