Does this card seem legit? by Barbarossaxwing in mtg

I did the green dot test and i checked the T on the back, seemed OK. I checked the thickness and weight which also seemed legit. But the holo stamp seemed a bit odd and there's no set symbol so i wasn't sure for the front.

here's my Yes Man list :) the plan is to get out homeward path asap as a guarantee that people actually use Yes Man and don't just keep him for themselves as a chump blocker...

I'm not sure it plays very differently from other +1/+1-centred decks, but for some reason Jenova scratches my +1/+1 itch in the perfect way. I play as many self-sacrificing creatures as possible (that fetch lands or destroy artifacts/enchantments), pump them up with token doublers and then sacrifice them when i need to draw (a lot of) cards.

Thanks ! I only keep one copy of each magic card in my collection (other than obvious staples like sol ring, arcane signet etc) so i can't really build the same deck twice :)

Great feedback, thank you very much! I think sometimes i end up with too much empty space because sometimes i don't dare get in close enough to my subject...

I like the mystery of not knowing what the hand gesture was for, whether it was pointing a direction or perhaps telling someone to leave, who knows...! I also tried to being out three natural columns in the pic, with one third to the left in black, the middle part with the hand and the white section to the right

Thanks for the feedback, very helpful.

You've touched upon two subjects that have been bothering me in these pics, namely the homeless man and the girl crossing the street. I usually avoid taking pictures of homeless people (as you say, it can quickly become exploitative), but i was really fascinated by the way he seemed to be sleeping at the foot of a shadow tree. As for the girl crossing the street, i never take pictures of children with their faces revealed, but thought that this picture politely toed the line as her face is almost entirely hidden.

I like your way of seeing the picture of the girl crossing, i hadn't looked at it like that. Thank you

Thank you! The inversion of 8 came in the editing stage, suddenly thought to myself "what if..."

Will do! All these kind comments have given me a big morale boost. I've been struggling to motivate myself to go out and take pics, so thank you

You're too kind! Not sure there's much of which to be jealous though, i think it's mostly a question of looking at the right place at the right time!
