Yes. A little more blur than is needed. Good work for your first project!

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

I don't know exactly what I'm doing with the "depth of field". I just guessed a couple of times changing the "Focus Distance" parameter to get an ok focus... is there some way to choose what object should get focus?

There can not be Good without Evil, so then it must be good to be Evil sometimes.

only thing I would do to fix them up even better is to do the carvings on the points, the little holes,that is on every die I have ever seen, and since I work in an casino, I have seen a few user added image

that would put some more realism to it, other than that, nice picture..
