Can you hear me now?

From the score, I guess I totally lost out on the two second rule ( the time it a takes to wow the voter). But I am extremely pleased with the comments the image generated. . . especially the ones that pondered the significance of all the elements in the image. After all, it was a murder mystery! I tried to provide all the evidence I could.

Thank you so much for your response to my entry, "Can you hear me know?". If you read the book, went to the play, or watched the movie, "Arsenic and Old Lace," the entry may make more sense to you. . . especially if you think of the Verizon guy as one of the victims! In the story two little old ladies off their suitors with a mixture of Elderberry wine, arsenic, strychnine ("just a pinch, My Dear") and cyanide. In reality, besides pesticides, insecticides, and fungicides, crystal, your cell phone and computers all have traces of arsenic in them. Instead of an Elderberry wine label facing forward, I turned it so that the Government warning was evident. However, it lost its sharpness and readability when I reduced the image for the web. I wondered how the old ladies would handle the Verizon guy in the commercial of which I really got very tired. Thus, the image. I realize it maybe was a stretch, but I thought it was perfect to the challenge. Again, thanks for your attention. I was very disappointed in the score but very, very pleased by all the comments it generated.
BTW: I guess arsenic is illegal to own in quantities. (Gee, I wonder why.) The image in the phone is the only known one of any quantity of it.

I would be very surprised if the pencil were lead filled. . . graphite, yes.

Not sure I can be harsh. . . This is an interesting shot. My only comment (and personal preference) would be to crop the sides tighter. It adds to the sense of coming out of confining tunnel into the open. You still get a lot of the darkness on top.

Lordy, Alice,

This is unbelievable. I was sitting on the front porch this morning reading the paper and a reworked MG went down the road. Then, later, another. . . a green one. Opened up the Watched Threads.. . . and there is yours. My college room mate had one. Oh the fun times we had cruising campus in it! Thanks for the memories.

Very clever. However, my limited knowledge of constellations tells me tis should be horizontally flipped.
