I normally didn't like the pics which require much reading to understand the concept, but this is simple enough. It took me a moment to figure out it was taken on a mirror. Nice touch. 7

Funny pic, however I'm not too sure about the sky background. Seems a bit busy for me.

I'm not certain the mirror-sky effect is good for this image. I think a desk would have sufficed. Great humor and scoring is defiitely a scam :) LOL!

Not sure what the calculator is for if you've already decided on 10's or 1's, but I like the mirrored sky alot. This has a very surreal feel to it.
