Hi Bryan,

Good concept and contribution to the Friday theme. I like the nice coloring and tones of the dice and table they're sitting on. The only recommendation I'd like to make is to perhaps use a bounce flash to avoid the reflection of light off the dice. Not sure if you used a flash in this shot, or if it was overhead lighting.

Best regards,
Werner

Hi Bryan,
Nice contribution and well composed. Good colors/tones and sharpness. As Werner mentioned, just a bit of flash reflection on the dice. TFS and have a great weekend, Julie

Hi Bryan,
Good tones in the colours of this picture, I like the rich look in the wood. Bit of glare either by the overhead lighting or flash which can be easily overcome by using a tripod and side lighting, angle the camera so the flash bounce is off at an angle but you probably know these tricks. Good choice of subject for the theme. Cheers

Lucky Dice from Lucky Bry. Better than OXO cubes Bryan - good one for the theme.
The flash reflecting makes it lose a bit of impact - but the idea and composition are good. Even centrally placed comes out all right too,

Hi bryan

A good entry in the Friday Cubes theme & thanks for joining in the fun. Good sharpness colour & diffused light. Perhaps I'd burn in the face of the #3 dice. Have a nice weekend!

Bonjour Bryan,

Nice contribution to the theme. Image is sharp and exposure looks good. The on-camera flash created reflexion on dice surface. Use of standard lamp at an angle would have prevent that. However, the most important is to take part to the theme. Nice work and TFS.

Bonjour Bryan,

Yet another good idea for the theme. The tight compo is eye-catching and there are lots of details to look at (texture of the wood, colors...) As everyone said the light is harsh but that is easy to correct. I cannot explain why, but when I look at your picture I can't help but think I would have been even greater is it was... vertical. Can't figure out why...

Au plaisir,

Damien (points off)
