Nice ide, and nice execution, even slightly interesting texture showing through the motion blur.

You've got the concept of "too late" working. I have a little trouble with the hand. It's a forground element that is trying really hard to be a background element.

I really like the idea of the picture. The b&w adds to its effect, in my opinion, as the colors of the cell phone display might have been a little distracting. The blurred hand also adds nicely to the "just a second too late" character of the picture.
One thing I don't like is the backgtround, it just doesn't have enough contrast with the hand and the phone; on the right side, you can't really tell where the phone ends and the background begins. This might also be due to the lighting which makes the phone cast a distinct shadow.
I also find it distracting a little distracting how the light produces a lot of glare on the phone.
Don't get me wrong though, I really like this picture!

Tongue-in-cheek! Well-done. The edges just look a little jagged.

Very good entry! Congrats on your finish. I loved this entry and scored it well, my only suggestion would have been that the rest of the hand wasn't so blurry. Your DOF is great, don't get me wrong. I like how part of it is out of focus, it makes your eyes go right to the paper, but the rest of the hand and the fingertips are extremely blurry to me. The first two fingers look great, but the third finger and the pinky almost merge together. See what I mean? If it was't for seeing the tip of the thumb, the base of it could have been mistaken for something else. Overall, awesome shot. I could never take something this good. Way to go.
