My grandmother died recently, and this shot depicts the despair my family has been in. I have concerns about the contrast and the image quality, but overall I think it's a strong composition.

I like the tones and contrasts here, and the placement of the objects is engaging. I can see the card saying "Funeral Home," but the mood and other communication in the photo do not support "despair." I'm not sure what glasses have to do with despair, for example, or the vertical lines. It is also unclear to me how the image being out of focus helps you as a choice.

It's a little out of focus and the glare on the glasses is a little disturbing. This could have been a great shot if it had been sharper.

I think that this picture was done very nicely. I know what you were trying to do with the image but the fact on how blury it is takes intrest away from the picture.

You should have worn the glasses before taking this shot. :) I don't "get" the meaning of the pic.

Not sure I "get" the despair in this one.

where is the "no hope"

Just a bit too fuzzy, but I get the idea...without your glasses this is the way it would look.

Are you implying that picture is out of focus because someone has taken off their glasses? An understandable reaction given the nature of the business card, but it doesn't really work for me. (maybe because it's my long-vision that is failing?)
