L - Luck

Not sure what these machines are....never played, but I do know quite a bit of money can be lost and, i assume, won.

Great candid shot!

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

Personally I like this one better, seems more balanced. The beam (?) in the left hand corner in the other picture becomes more prominent than in this image. I like the 'row' of machines, it gives a sense of being there.

@overalvandaan Thank you...that was my first reaction, too...but then on second thoughts...I thought that might be taking the eye to that light. good to have your feedback...thank you for doing so.

[Granagringa]

@overalvandaan I think I'll switch them back....:-)

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

also with the right hand corner having the light of the machine, gives the people gambling more attention.

[Granagringa]

@overalvandaan ahh..thank you...and it gives them more breathing room, too. Nice to have this conversation....TY!!!

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

yes, that's what I meant, you say it better. Yes, I liked the conversation too :-)

[Peter Dulis]

nice

[gloria jones]

Intense :)

[Tim L]

They don't look like they are having fun.

[Rob Z]

I have to agree with Gloria and Jim - they don't make this look like much fun. Are they some sort of poker machine? And your photo has certainly caught the feel of the situation. :)

[HelenM]

A serious business! Love his expression

[JackieR]

Total concerntration. I actually likd that the dfisagonal beam sort of cuts them off from the viewer. Great street candid shot, very brave!!

[Helen Jane]

Trouble is, the Luck always runs out.
