The suggester said: "I love the concept of There's only one king by *Firnadi. It has a strong sense of movement and emotion. Also,the artist did a great job creating a background that reminds the viewer of the scale everything. ( Suggested by ~coloradogirl86 and Featured by `Norke )

Awesome concept, (I usually don't rate so high for everything!)

I like all the meaning behind it and all the little details, how from fighting each other the whole card is slashed and they're harming themselves, and the other cards other than the joker are all distressed. The knave of hearts at the bottom wants to stop them but the one at the top holds them back, because its not their place to intervene/they will get slashed too (or maybe I'm just reading too much into this

)

I really like all the little details, from the poses and expressions of all the other cards to how the king at the bottom's arm is blurry from movement, how they slashed a hole in the poker table which they're all on.

Although the background could be clearer, it is clear where the focal point is, even the card which is nearest in perspective overlooked at first from the dynamic situation of the kings.

The more you look at this piece, the more you see. This isn't a one view and you'll experience all of its aspects sort of thing.

I approve

There's so much to love about this picture, the bright colors really make the picture pop. The small details such as the blood splatter on the card gives a sense that the artist gives great detail to his work.

I particularly love the look on the Joker's face and the humor in this, considering that there always seems to be that one person in the crowd watching a fight that is egging the combatants on. It makes one wonder what goes on the card table when we're not looking, and what exactly are they fighting over? Perhaps who wants to be on top?

Speaking for the technical aspect of the picture the symmetry is well aligned with the characters giving the photo a better depth. The faces of the other cards are a bit blurred but this leaves the two combatants to be the focus of the picture. I don't know if this was intentional or not.
