cool picture

Far too dark...

From whhale@nvl.army.mil:
I think the cards should have shown sign of use to give them that aged look.

From agage@csee.usf.edu:
Be careful using the images on cards, since many of them (especially the jokers
and ace of spades) may be copyright.

From english@spiritone.com:
Fun image. That's a strange light coming from under the 
books, tho

From marlo.steed@uleth.ca:

I liked the concept.

From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com:
An interesting interpretation of theme. If it were not for the visible effort
put into it, I would say this is stretching the topic a bit (e.g. randomly
placing cards on a table is easier than nicely lying them up in a house
although
one may argue about that).
The cards would look better if slightly bent.

From jouni@mikrobitti.fi:
Well damn, you feel so dumb when you look at the image, don't understand
what the ruins in it are, then read the text file and are struck by
dawning realization of your own stupidity... The card house thing was
too difficult for me, it seems ;-) 

I think it would have helped considerably, if even two cards were left 
standing against one another. Although that's not too realistic, it
just might have told me what the ruins are, instead of letting me wonder
at a mere pile of playing cards. Use of the book titles was a good idea
and suited the scene well.

From StephenF@whoever.com:
The cards look nice (of course, considering the fact that 
they were scanned in, they should.)  I like the blurring 
effect, too.  The books look fairly simplistic in 
comparison to the cards themselves, though.

From jaime@ctav.es:
Original idea! But something doesn't go with lighting... perhaps needed more
intensity
and less ambient?

=====
From clem@dhol.org:
Decent idea.  Much, much too dark.  The table need more 
detail.

From sjlen@ndirect.co.uk:
I like the atmosphere and the concept.  Those books on the right seem to have
been messed up a bit by the radiosity, pointing to the fact that maybe the 
radiosity has been a bit overdone here.
