 Description:
Shoot a photograph that would make a great postcard.

I really had no idea that it HAD to be of a place, the description didn't state it. Mine, though is coming from my heart, I figured that you barely see a starfish in with Autumn leaves, so thats how I came up with Mixed Emotions. I love it...reflects my moods of late.

Nice text, but I'm missing the context for the starfish.

This doesn't really make sense to me.

No room for double messages on the back (or front) of a postcard. Fascinating detail on the starfish.

Nice pic, but it doesn't invite me to go anywhere like a postcard.

To me this is more of a greeting card then a post card. So to me its a dnmc. Mixed Emotions says nothing about the area or place it is from.

I'm not sure about the author's intent here - I think I know, but I'm not getting a real feel for it. As an image, it's very competant, DOF is well controlled and the subtle color mix is truly effective. I like the font, but there are problems with the drop/3D effects as parts of the individual letters disappear - particularly the M and N. This type of font works well with more contrasty backgrounds. I would mark this higher if I was sure of the author's intent.
