 We are always expecting important things to arrive in the mailbox. Here, I took a picture from the mailbox's perspective. I put the camera inside of the mailbox and put on the timer. It took many trials, and I ended up like the one when I had the flash on. I also grew to like the blurriness of the hand and sharpness of the backround.

Looks out of focus and the front of the picture is too bright - hard to have a subject that close to the onboard flash.

would like the hand to be in focus more, but good idea

Good idea. I wish the camera was focused on your fingers.

good persepctive, but the mail and finger tips are way overexposed. Nice idea tho

Cute, but a bit tentative...

The high contrast b&w works well here, although its a bit blown out at the bottom so i cant see what the hand is grabbing

good idea. the letters and figer tips are really over exposed though

Ceratainly not a commonplace POV so meets challenge well. I would imagine that it was your intent to overexpose your fingertips?

Maybe if the focus was a bit stronger on the finger tips?

The hand looks freaky from ths point of view but I don`t like ,...ooops, sorry, I don`t like the title, I just see that this is in a post box, whow, now thats very clever!!! A very good idea. The flashlight makes a bit too much contrast in the front so that the detail of the letters and the fingertips are lost. But great idea anyway, respect!
