Cards close-up

[S.Culpepper]

I didn't know if this is considered a macro, since it's not really super close, so I decided to post it here.



Questions: How is the DOF? Lighting? Anything I could do to improve?

Camera: Canon Rebel XS
Lens: 18-55mm

would be a 'heartbreak' if any one of them were a Hearts. Maybe the Queen of Hearts? Breaks the pattern too.

Just my 2 cents. I know there are better commenters out there.

The shot is good and the DOF looks fine to me.

Great idea from djfoo on breaking up the flush with some red. You could then process b/w except for the red. I like the shot, the dark background. I think what you chose for DOF works well and makes it a more interesting photo than if all cards were in sharp focus. Nice job.

I also agree with the idea about making one card colour. I bet if that super sharp Jack was a red diamond or heart it would just about pop off the screen.
