Love is a game of cards

[fotugraphy]

Hi, going forward on my photography venture I stopped and clicked another shot. Can you please review it and let me know what exactly is missing for it to reach position Perfect?

Just wanted to click a vision of a gambler

Thank You

I think it is a good concept and technically well done. The green suggesting a felt table would better with just a tone gradient and a soft level edge. A very out of focus players hands and cards across the table would add to the setting. An idea well worth the gamble of trying to develop further.

Thank you for the review, I will keep your suggestions in my mind for my next shoot.

I like L.Paul's advice...with green felt tables being a rarity these days, you might try using a billiard table.

I quite like this and it is well done. You could add to it but I think that it stands in its own right.

I agree that a green felt table would be better. I would eliminate the hand on the right and scatter some gambling chips in the background.

I'd change the angle of view if this is supposed to be from the gambler's perspective. This looks like the camera angle used on the televised poker shows.

What game is your subject playing? Poker? If so, the most popular variant has two hole cards. The next most popular has four. Three would be a rarity.

I'd suggest that if you have an editing programme with layers the suggestions above could be incorporated in this the basis of the 'perfect shot' You just need to make sure you match the angles for it to work.

Thanks for your review. I will surely include it in my next shoot. Actually here i used my Razor mouse pad for the shot which have a slight bit of green design and angled my camera to get the green in the background.

This is the mouse pad i used

Thanks for your valuable input. I will try to get some chip from the market and will surely add them in the scene.

Thank you very much about your review for the angles. Actually my friend have a habit of looking at the cards in this way only. I just clicked his own vision and hands. It was clicked quickly in a tube light(house light) when we were playing the game. I will surely work on the angle in my next shoot.

It is an Indian Gambling Game known as "3 patti" or "Flush". In this we dont need chips. It can be played directly using money or without money. thanks

Thanks for your kind suggestion. Yes, It can be done in photoshop but I will try to do it in real and then post process in photoshop

Nice photo and concept, Raj!

Picked up the texture on the cards nicely!

I would suggest that even more love would be a Royal Flush in Spades!

thanks for your kind review It is a nice idea to include all the royal flush in spades. Will try it for my next shoot.
