•  Oppose Sorry. The double-reflection on the glass spoils it too much, and can be avoided. Since the reflection is a significant part of the appeal, I think best-practice should be expected for FP. There could also be a better variation of dice. What are the cubes with white-black or green? Ultimately, the "still life" is a bit random, forced, as this isn't something one would see normally. -- Colin (talk) 10:09, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

• Some things are hard to imagine, but the green and black/white cubes are also completely normal cubes (D6) - just not with points or numbers. --XRay 💬 10:10, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
• Some photos are simply good and pleasant to look at, let's not kill it with overthinking and dissecting it. --Cart (talk) 10:24, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

• Wrt green and black/white cubes, I'm just curious. How do they work or are they associated with a certain game? The cube choice/arrangement is really a secondary thing, just something that didn't help raise things imo. The thing that kills it for me is the double reflection. "Drunk dice" might be a suitable title? :-). It probably wasn't as noticeable on the related FPs with bolts. XRay, if you enjoy making these kind of images, I do encourage you to Google "double reflection in photography" and try one of the many ways to avoid it. -- Colin (talk) 14:34, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

• The green die with the black lines and the black and white die are very similar. They are booth normal 6-sided dice - D6. You can the black and white segments at the black and white die. The distance of the line to the edge (or the size of the segments) are different. So you have 6 different sides at each die. But one thing: I can't explain which side is which number. The dice were only borrowed. (If you are interested. Mathematical more interesting dice are intransitive dice. The article is more theoretically, but you can find intransitive dice at special shops.) --XRay 💬 15:29, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
• Or you can do the IKEA-hack I use for jewelry. They have these hardened glass tops painted black or white on one side called BESTÅ. They are huge, sturdy and cost next to nothing compared to the stuff you buy in a photo store. So far I haven't noticed any double reflections, maybe I'm doing it "wrong" in some way. :-) I guess you can take any glass plate and paint it black on one side to get the same effect. --Cart (talk) 15:45, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

•  Support A great image, different from what we usually see here. Though if it were mine, I'd have cropped off some of that empty space at the top and gotten the dice in the center. Daniel Case (talk) 02:51, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

The lot of blue ones are a little bit smaller, but there are a white and blue one and a blue and a yellow one. These one has the same size. --XRay 💬 13:55, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

OK! And why D4/W4? It's should be D6/W6, these are cubes, all have 6 sides. --Brateevsky {talk} 13:57, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

Sh... happens. Fixed. Thank you. --XRay 💬 14:06, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
