Jerry, I really like the patterns and lighting here...well composed along a diagonal. The one piece in-focus really stands out against the rest of the image. Impressive what you can do with a plastic lens magnifier! MFC

Some very nice DOF there, and good composition. I could never have guessed what it was :-). Helen

Nice use of DOF, Jerry! Thanks for the cribbage link - I should play it sometime. Stay good so Santa can bring you your 250D:~)

These are the scoring pegs (and board) for a card game called "Cribbage" - around in various forms since the 17th century. The lone peg out front signifies that this player has scored 5 points whereas the opponent has yet to score.

Very cool composition and selective focus! What are those?
