"You may include existing images or artwork as part of your composition as long as the entry does not appear to consist entirely of a pre-existing photograph in order to circumvent date or editing rules or fool the voters into thinking you actually captured the original photograph."

This obviously is just a photo of a photo.

This is hard to see for me. I think perhaps larger puzzle pieces wouldn't make it so difficult to make out. Also, perhaps a lighter background (white instead of black?). It might be cool to see the light coming through the pieces.

Excellent job. One of my favorites so far. Creative, tastefully edited and a suitable expression for the occasion. 8

I like the idea. The image is a bit dull for me.
