~A Dream Hand~
Uploaded: March 12, 2005 04:21:49
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 #224056Marcie 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)!!! #1166043Tom Andersen March 12, 2005
Looks like an interesting game, Marcie! Very nicely captured! #1166045Marcie 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)!! #1166051Carolyn M. Fletcher March 12, 2005
Good job here!! #1166065Tammy Scott March 12, 2005
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'!!!!! :) #1166069Roger Bernabo March 12, 2005

Nice shot, Marcie. I am with Tammy, until I read the cribbage part I was thinking - not such a good hand. #1167250Debra Booth March 12, 2005
A very fine hand, a very fine cribbage board, and a very fine capture, Marcie! #1167289Marcie A. Fowler March 12, 2005

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 ... LOLSteve Hurkett #3831080
