Emily your shots of ordinary things close up is just amazing. How do you do it. How do you think of it?!!!! I love your unique style of photography, it really is so incredibly artistic. The composition, clarity and focus of this are perfection! How did you do the background?

"Playing with the queen of hearts,
knowing it ain't really smart
The joker ain't the only fool who'll do anything for you!"
and...
"Don't you draw the Queen of Diamonds, Boy.
She'll beat you if she's able.
You know the Queen of Hearts is always your best bet."

I'm a Bridge player in my spare time; I enjoy song lyrics and mini-histories about playing cards. :))

Love this pic! Thanks!

I love this shot. I collect playing cards and love photography that includes them. I love the title and the clarity of this shot and how the queen of love looks as if she is sad which kinda says a story about how love really is. Beautiful shot. Thanks for posting.

Thought some of you might be interested in this:
Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king from history.
Spades: King David
Clubs: Alexander the Great
Hearts: Charlemagne
Diamonds: Julius Caesar
And I believe the Queen of Hearts represented Elizabeth of York, who married Henry VII...joining the York and Lancaster houses and ending the 7 year war.
If you look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playing_card
you will see different information.

I was sad because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet... so I says to him, "Hey brother, ya wanna sell those shoes?"
