Interesting shot. It would make a great poster for an oriental styled room. Great job.

Mahjong is fun although it tends to be addictive. Nice choice of subject.

Wow, how old are those tiles?? I agree, they would make a fab poster. I can just imagine the thousands of shuffling they've gone through to get cracked like that.

Yah I noticed also, that they appear to be cracked, but there is no actual physical damage to the tiles at all. Strange?
