Interesting and effective set of symbolic images for this still life.

Returning for comments.
This is an abstract defining feature, known only to those that know of the person. However, we all agree that this abstract feauture is that of Shakespeare. So all is well that ends well. bumping up.

Nice twist in a challenge full of faces. A lot of noise through out the photo.

Very very grainy. Nice light. Not really a challenging photographic subject though. 6

I like the composition and grainy appearance a lot but certain improvements, I feel could give it more impact. First, what's your keyboard doing in there???!!! Secondly, I would like to see more even lighting and possibly some fill light on top to illuminate the rock and top of the paper better. Wish you had photographed this on some old antique desk or something. Also, the color grain could be eliminated with a noise reduction program like Neat Image and would like to see the luminance grain left Good idea, but needs improvement.

The foto is great, as far as lighting and focus are concerned. Bumping score to 8.

Changed my mind. Now I will rate on the quality of the photo alone and not whether it meets the challenge since I now see that it does... I like the poem and the way it is presented. I like the composition and the sharp focus on the rock and the words.

mixed media in art, too confusing, poetry is mixed with photography and it confuses the viewer...(perhaps you want to write, but do not feel okay to publish writing as freely as you do your photography? I may be prying to deep here, but try searching poetry contests online if you haven't already, you might enjoy it! :) maybe looking to deeply, but the point here is that the photograph is neglected because the reading of the writing takes the stage, and if its a surname by which you write, you neglect the writer in you, even worse!

A hand with a pen "finishing" the poem would have been nice :) I think it would have completed the image somehow. But that's just me...

Great poem by the way :)

The keyboard is a bit distracting.

Not sure how this meets the challenge requirement to "Take a picture of a person's defining feature".

the keyboard under the desk is distracting, nice shot though
