Peas smile for the camera!by

Ah, the fickle voter. How elusive and slippery your affections are.
I'll skip the technicals here, they're all very good, and I think you know that.
The colors: Okay, so they didn't like the colors. Peas should be green you see, and when people come across red and blue peas, they have to think about their vote. They don't want to think, they want to be amazed by your photograph and how amazing it was on the first second they saw it. Which brings us to...
The arrangment: I (and I admit, I can be blind sometimes, I can't see the illusions in those magic-eye things, but I digress) ahem... I didn't see the smiley face at first. I looked at the title, then I looked back up and saw the face. I donder if I'm alone in this experience. I think a closer arrangement of the peas, and more in the smile, could have alleviated any first glance confusion. First impressions are everything. Especially if someone only takes 2-3 seconds to vote.
