Ordinary to Extraordinary



While sitting in a room with famous and successful poker players, Samantha Becker was there for one reason and one reason only, to win her house back. She was recently involved in an illegal bet the week before, and ended up losing everything she owns. While sitting in the extremely stressful environment, it was now or never for her to make her move. She looked at her cards, took a deep breath in, put her poker face on(as seen above), and bet everything she had left to her name. The cards were dealt, and her heart was beating. She had a royal flush, but knew she couldn't let anyone know or else they would fold. She kept her fantastic poker face on throughout the entire hand, and ended up fooling everyone! She won her house back, and then some extra cash to buy a few new things! Everything all worked out in the end, and Samantha learned a very important lesson... gambling can lead to bad things! If it wasn't for her amazing poker face, Samantha could have ended up homeless.

Texture


This is a close up shot of a basketball. I think this makes a good shot for texture because the ball has divots all over it, much like a golf ball, but people don't notice them as much. I enhanced the texture by putting plastic wrap on it and sharpening it.
