It's a rarity to see such fine use of grain in an image, and have it not unappealing in the least. It serves this capture wonderfully, and the composition is flawless. Wowch...

Corinna DePhunk was a spoiled child. Her parents had made a fortune with laser-guided staple guns and could never say no to her, no matter what she asked. It was a childhood with no limits, ponies in submarines, hula on the high seas, phenomenal flying machines... but nothing ever seemed enough. She thought there must be something more extravagant she hadn't thought of yet... some brilliant ecstatic ridiculous bauble that would make her happy. In her teen years she became interested in photography and spent obscene amounts on top-of-the-line digital cameras, German glass, an entire spectrum of lights, supermodels... but all her pictures seemed... kinda... meh. They were no better than this guy in Iceland named Paris or something like that. Horrified that she could bring to bear anything in the outside world but still fail because she was lacking something inside... she gave it all away to the North Jersey Photography Club. She renounced her whole fortune and went off to the Lower East Side to die like a rat.

And there...

in the garbage...

she found an old Polaroid camera. She took a picture of moldy lasagna... and... it was beautiful. the most beautiful photo she had ever taken. That's when she knew she that it was only by letting the outside world limit her that she could find the unlimited possibility within herself. She made instruments out of garbage and played on the streets until the world took notice. And when it came time to sign that first record deal, she knew just what she wanted to call herself.

Nice use of noise. I don't know about the text font you used, doesn't seem (to me) to fit very well with your chosen DPL acronym.

My third favorite in this challenge. 10. I love everything about this, from the grain to the lighting and colors to the wire that the subject has that confuses and intrigues me. Great job with the text as well.

This is the only cover so far that has a good blend of text and looks like it could be a real album cover. Nice look.
