Following up on my comment:

Sorry that my comment wasn't helpful. I'll try to expand.

The vignetting, as it is, is very strong and distracts from the focal point of the photo. This is why I didn't like it, and should have explained. My apologies.

Also, and this is something I didn't really think about originally, there is only a very slim connection with the challenge here. I don't imagine you are pulling a paycheck from trying to get a 9+ score on DPC, so it really doesn't fit as an occupation.

Just my thoughts.

cool idea - i can understand this more as an obsession rather than an occupation but i give you a 5 for meeting the challenge

I very much don't like the vignetting here.

The arrangement around the keyboard is bad, the font chosen doesn't make the screen exciting. Maybe a bit more centered would have helped.

Dreams are what reality is made of.

:-) a common one! Like the use of softness around the edges, adds to the 'dream' quality. 7

I don't care for the framing .. it distracts from the photo .. a dark color probably would have worked better

If this is really an "occupation," I have to feel sorry for your obsession.

This one made me laugh. Gotta love it. Like the overall dreamy look, but the keyboard looks weird.

Ok, I get that the heavy vignette is to convey a dreamy look, but to me it just doesn't work.
