this is a nice and original idea, well executed too! i might have tried focusing on the post and let the hand be a bit fuzzy... but would then have stuck with what you submitted anyway. it's a nice clever shot, but my nagging doubt is that there might be a bit too much going on. i think i would have played around with similar shots, but maybe with just the hand reaching in or just the face peeking in, and not both. 6.

I would be surprised if this picture doesn't finish in the top 10...
Composition is great. The sides of the mail box funnel the
attention towards the person getting his mail. And it definitely fits the theme of unusual viewpoint. Good job!
I give this a 9.

Excellent viewpoint! Too bad the mail is bills! Great exposure - nice lighting on the face yet some detail on the inside of the "mailbox." DoF handled perfectly. My only complaint is that white sky - but that is offset a bit by the white in the envelopes. Still an excellent and very ORIGINAL submission.
