If I had realized he was holding a potato peeler, I'd have given you a much higher score!

Looks like a lot of work went inot setting this up but it does not pack a punch with regard to telling a story. Took me a while to find the heart for instance.

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.

This image is well exposed, but the composition doesn't appeal to me and theme doesn't attract interest for me

Way to much going on in the scene. I would have zoomed way in on the heart shaped numbers instead of all the other things in the frame.

Snapshot. Lighting from the flash is too harsh. Would like a broader dof better. Top right and bottom left corners are distracting.

What element were you going for? Good light and a nice sharp picture.
