It is under exposed. Did you shoot it in RAW? The composition is good and the concept is strong.

Agreed, the brights are bright enough but the darks are too dark.

Otherwise a very well thought shot.

yes it was shot in raw. however if i bring the exposure up, the cards will look a little hot. how can i avoid that?

if i just make the darks less dark, would i need to touch the exposure?

You can do a curves adjustment in PS.

I would have preferred the front and central part to be in focus, while losing focus further towards the back. Now it is more or less the other way round.
Exposure, composition and colour is excellent.
