STORMY WEATHER (trees)
Glad I was already in my car before the heavens opened. It went incredibly dark, but it didn't last for very long, and the sun was soon out again.

LUCY IN THE SKY
I just messed about with the photograph of a luscious, large green tree against a nice blue background with the clouds, but I decided that was boring, so this is what I did to it.

INTENTIONAL CAMERA MOVEMENT OR INTENTIONAL BLUR
I'm going to be trying this again because I rather like the outcome of this on my lavender in the garden, which has finished for the summer now, so I couldn't go and do it again.

Good concept but a few things stand out to me:
I think the bottle is too large and draws attention away. Maybe a smaller bottle or just his drink?
It doesn't make sense to me to have all the cards laid out in the 2nd shot. If the game is blackjack why not just show the dealer's winning hand? Unless I'm missing something.
In the 3rd shot the cards are in focus but the light is on the croupier making them compete for attention.
Love the reflections in the glasses.
thanks
