I had an idea of how to do this, didn't turn out the way I wanted but I hope it won't do too bad. I would rather my Rebel XS been in the picture but my other camera didn't take pictures the way I wanted it to.
This picture is what I go through all the time, I think it's good and ends up brown.

First impression: I remember this image from glancing through the entries and I love your take on the challenge and your creativity.
Technicals: The composition feels a little unbalanced to me, the camera position is a little off. While focus on the in-camera picture is great, I would have liked to see the framed ribbon was in focus as well. Setup similar to this has been done before and advanced editing would have allowed sandwiching different apertures. In addition, the photo looks a bit flat on my screen.
Final thoughts: I love the idea but I feel that execution fell a little short. The colors feel too muted; I would have liked to see blue and brown ribbon a bit brighter. I am not a fan of the table either, seamless background would have worked better, I think.
I hope you dont get a brown in this challenge. I like the creativity in the shot, using the brown in camera, and blue on the background. Im not crazy about the wooden desk though. 6
