sorry ment to just post the second one first one i was just playing changing colours and stuff

I like them but they are so small that it is difficult to catch the details. Maybe crop them down so there isnt so much of the backround on top, i dont think it adds to the picture.

army wife...click on the photo and you'll get a bigger version.

Archer, the composition is ok but everything is so new and plastic. Seems a bit bright to me and if you dropped the exposure a bit and maybe bumped the shadows there would be more detail. I think it needs a bottle of beer or a cigar or something in there too.

I would have shot them from directly above. The angle you have here adds depth, but I don't feel that it really helps the photo,.. probably hurts it a bit, seeing the cloth ripples. The cards seem a tad too bright (on this monitor), and not sure I like the space at the top.

Not a bad idea by any means, just needs a different composition.

archer,

When you take these sort of photo's you need to watch the whites, these seem to be blown so a different exposure required for the whites.

Nice attempt, but I agree that there is too much space above the chips. crop this down by half.

As for the crumpled look of the cloth I have no problems with the angle as it does give it some depth.

Keep working at it .. tabletop photography is a matter, I'm afraid, of keep shooting it, check it onthe computer, shoot it again, and so on, until you get it right.
