Looking bleak

Looking bleak by Jim B L.
Made an ugly hand look a little uglier in picnik. Used at my blog.

Edit: I just realized this made Explore, #433. Been as high as #277, that I know of. Only my 3rd photo to do so. Thanks everyone! :)

This is great work.... I'm not a card player so I don't know the significance of the seven and the deuce.... is there a reason you shoot those two cards the most?

Thanks Maria. A few reasons. First, my website is 72suited.com, so some of these get used at my website. Second, in Texas Hold'em, seven deuce off suit is known as the worst starting hand (hole cards) you can get. Seven deuce suited is barely a step above the worst starting hand. Third, its fun and different, trying to get something unique out of playing cards.
