~A Dream Hand~

Uploaded: March 12, 2005 04:21:49

Description

Anyone who plays cribbage knows what a dream it is to get a hand like this. Unfortunately this one was contrived for the shot and not dealt to me.

Taken in available light. Did some minor adjustment and added the dreamy effect.

Nice composition. Wouldn't J555+5 be the dream hand? 29 points! LOL #224056

Marcie A. Fowler March 12, 2005

Thanks for commenting Todd. Sorry but I couldn't remember what the best hand was so I went with this one. Haven't seen the other one often enough (LOL)!!! #1166043

Tom Andersen March 12, 2005

Looks like an interesting game, Marcie! Very nicely captured! #1166045

Marcie A. Fowler March 12, 2005

Thanks for commenting Tom. It is a fun but at time highly frustrating game. I've been playing since I was a little kid and I'm still not very good at it (LOL)!! #1166051

Cool shot, Marcie!!! I am glad you said cribbage (which I haven't played before) because I was thinking, 'that's just a pair of fives'!!!!! :) #1166069

Nice image, Marcie ... I love cribbage ... my wife and I play nearly every evening at dinner (supper) ... and I don't believe we've ever had that elusive 29 hand ... although I am certainly looking forward to it some day ... LOL
