Uh OH! How embarassing and shocking! ;)

A good idea for the challenge but the shot is a bit dull, maybe a bit more contrast? Also the box is very dusty? Kind of hurts the shot. A 7

Yes, that would be a shock, more for the giver than the receiver. The black velvet box shows up well against the hand. I'd like to see more contrast between the hand and the background. Wish the hand was in focus. Wish the gesture implied more surprise, maybe he could be dropping the box? Or if there was a mirror in the back, we could see the look on herr face?

I don't believe it is necessary to use foul language (or insinuate the word) in the title of you photo.

Comment by ScantyNebula:
There needs to be more contrast between the hand and the wall, perhaps the wall should have been dark rather than light.
Suggestion, you should have wiped the lint off the ring box .. it is a distraction ;)
Nice DOF, interesting angle.

Not sure the implied obscenity is all that necessary...

Greetings from the Critique Club!

I think you had a great idea here, and selected a good set of elements to give us the feel for the book. I also like the choice of B&W here.

On the technical side, there are a couple of things that can be improved here. I don't think the light reflection in the glasses is needed if done intentionally, and at best distracts a bit, especially because I can see some detail in it, i.e., the bulb.

The wand itself is the major problem I see here. It's overexposed, and I don't think it's placed optimally in the image. It's almost as if it's arranged to be the nose, the glasses the eyes, and the rock the mouth, making a face, which distracts a bit. I am not sure how I would arrange them without some playing, but I would think I might have tried the wand coming in from one corner, and the other objects symmetrical on the other diagnoal. But I would have to experiment to see what worked best. Some other suggestions:
1) A dark, nonreflective base and background would have given this some extra pop
2) A sheet over the light source and putting it back would have diffused the light and eliminated the reflection. A circular polarizer might have also been effective here.

Glad to see such a creative entry and I look forward to seeing more of your work.

I don't get this one, but I'm a Brit so that may be why!

It's intriguing though, but I would have cropped out the word at the bottom and rotated it slightly anticlockwise so that it's straight.
