Political commentary, LOL.

What to do when it's really cold outside. One of my kids' board/bored games. 72 takes, LOL.

Nicely done. I love the dice action you have captured. I remember playing this as a kid! Great game. Good colors and sharp focus and well timed. Composed and framed nicely. Great story telling ability. Congrats!

This is a clever idea, that could easily work for a magazine story on global politics. I like the motion of the dice--nice capture--and I like the impression of curvature. It isn't a flat map, it looks like a large globe. I think this picture has a lot of potential. If you want to keep working at it, there are two things I'd suggest. First, take a look at the color balance. It feels like the dice are a bit green (perhaps a reflection from the map). Second, I'd remove some of the impression of glare from the bottom corner by burning in the Indian Ocean text

This is definitely not the type of photo I take but after 72 takes it shows you have patience. I like the motion of the dice but I could be a little less blur. The only issue I really have (and it's small) is that everything is in focus except the Roman Numeral 5 under Middle East. It looks like it shifted when you threw the dice
