the background is pretty distracting... dare i say that it's more 'on theme' than some of the others... ???? gl

yes, would you dare?

Yes I believe I have!

@JamesD.. I'm still giggling about you being called a DONK..WTF is a DONK?.. hehehehe

Foreground & background are both distracting...the focus should be on the contest elements, which are somewhat confusing...

color from background borrowed from the water images... color for the table borrowed from the swans beaks.. print version looks fabulous.. so I'm going to keep it as is...

(the 11x15 print version has no back lighting.. so High Res isn't really what the image looks like)

My first thought on 'donk' was the character in Crocodile Dundee... the dumb looking strong guy... lol.

Donk is short for Donkey, widely used around the poker scene, quite fitting imo

Thanks Barnacle

My pleasure

we should bo polite for each other.we should learn always to be better.
