You've inspired me to try and do something with my cellphone! :)
The voters hammered this scorewise, but you did get some nice comments/reactions. I think people don't mind looking at something this "artsy", but don't feel it's true "photography" when it comes to voting.
A very gutsy move, and an interesting result that's fun to look at. :D
Becuase of the effect- it's really hard to see the vase (I'm assume it's there since the flowers are being held up) and if I didn't know the challenge I would say that black thing on the table is a ribbon, not a belt. That being said- I do like the painting effect. I just feel like it could be a bit bright and if more of the hand were in the fram is might be a bit clearer.
