 I printed out a fake ballot that I made up with red and blue lettering and a faded outline if the WTC as a watermark. It didn't come out the way I wanted it to, but I was in a rush! DOH!

I'd prefer to vote for some of those candidates too!

This photo is overpixelated. I like the idea though.

This is a good one for sure. It's a little eerie, though. Did you mean for the hand to look like a dead person's?

Obviously an impossible ballot, but I like the concept. Color choices are on purpose, I imagine.

This is an excellent idea! Something about this is bugging me though, maybe too much post processing? I also think it might have been better if you could find out who ran against Lincoln or Jefferson (If I remember correctly Washington didn't have any opponents) and use those names instead, maybe use a feathen pen also for more realism. I like the way the hand and pen are placed, I like the way the paper is placed in the frame. Nice job.

What happened to the hand? It looks plastic or something. I think that you had to over tweak something because of an initially bad shot, and that caused the hand to look really bad.

Creative image. The hand looks a bt pixelated, but I really like the idea of the shot. Good luck!

Nice idea! I'm scared of the hand though. 6

Great idea, shame about the bad artifacting on and around the hand. 6

Good idea, but... There's a lot visually that's troublesome. There are too many elements - the ballot, the desaturated hand, the twin towers. And a lot of blur and weird edges. It's just ultimately visually jumbled.

bad quality, but nice composition.

The black area on the lower left and top left is distracting. Your eyes automatic focus in on these areas. Lot's of noise in the picture. Try turning down the ISO.
It's kind of difficult to see but looks like the World Trade Towers on the paper. Very interesting.

hmmm is that an artifical hand? seems fake anyway and the colors are a bit weird. Nice idea though.
