Nice angle..had to look at it for a moment and read the tite before it hit me! First voted it a 6 and went to next photo and then did a double take back and rated you a 9. Well done! Made me look twice!!!

I'm glad you gave me the title. I couldn't figure out what I was looking at. Very novel view of the arch.

hmm.. nice shot, I wasn't able to vote on this challenge (just got a membership), but I really like your idea, the literal interpretation of the writer's mind as his environment is awesome, the only thing to me is that it seems like the focus is on the typewriter whereas I would like his face to be sharper, great composition and colors, etc, nice work. I would have given it an 8 or 9. (I like how the background is separated from the writer, it gives that sense of dreamingness or thinking, that the background is his mind...)

Very interesting take. I touch to literal for me, but vreative. It'd be nice if he had some paper in his typewriter

Nice but somehow the lighting on the man and the backround don´t seem to match, like he´s sitting in front of a printed backround, same goes for the DOF. I have done similar shots, just look at my "people" folder in my portfolio so I am not saying that is bad that he doesn´t "match" the backround but here it somehow rubs me off as unnatural. Don´t get me wrong, it´s a nice shot so I gave it a 6.
