Very impressive - especially the reconstruction on the ace of spades. I reckon it'd take someone expert to spot the work without the before shot.
It was interesting to play spot the differences too; have you ever thought of it as an alternative to Identify This ? . ;-)
@hown - no! Pure reconstruction by hand and eye. Used the paintbrush and clone tool mostly. Content aware fills would fail with that much detail as there is under the rope. look at the detail of the Ace. That could not be content aware reconstructed.

And the work on that ace is ace!
