nice take on the challenge. I am really not a fan of the border. the processing seems interesting.

Great concept but too much noise for my taste.

This is actually quite clever and had the potential to do so much more in scoring I think. Couple of things hurting this are 1) too much noise/grain, and 2) the framing is a bit non-conventional.

Item #1 is the biggest issue. Try to shoot in the lowest ISO that you can. Use a tripod and dial down to ISO 100 (50 if you have it). If your camera is inherently noisy then look for noise reduction options (i.e. - Neat Image, etc...). Also, try to fill the frame of your shot as close to the final composition that you are hoping to achieve as cropping down can cause image quality problems at times.

I like the way you've put this image together compositionally. A plain white or black poster board underneath may have been a little better, but that's a personal opinion for sure. The image is focused just fine...just that darn noise! ;^)

Good luck in this and future challenges.

a little too grainy, on purpose? Noise reduction would have helped a lot
