Just a flash of inspiration...and showing that a 'snapshot' just might do OK! Yes I know the lighting sucks. If you're confused about the four, look at it upside down!

Very clever! An excellent graphic study in line. The deep shadow bits are a very nice touch. I like the contrast between the metal tools and the soft paper. I also like the idea of the spotlight on the cross. Although this may not be according to your intent I wish that the grey tones were a shade closer to white to lighten the image. The border is pretty thick, but a black border is a good choice. An original idea expressed reasonably well. This concept has a lot of possibilities. For example three bones with the third being broken by two hands. Cloth being torn. Etc. Keep up the superb work

I see it, I see the 4! This is a pretty neat photo.

The caption doesn't meet the photo and the photo does nothing for me

I see it is an upside down 4 and it is also an illusion. Am I supposed to see anything else. I'm not getting the title, unless it's the cross, but that's Easter. The title really doesn't matter in this challenge, "4", but since you did title it, I believe I must see it. Other than not seeing the title, it's probably too clear for me to see, the photo is technically a good B&W. Now you give me a problem as to how to score it. I guess a 6 for the technical part of it.

This photo really made me think. I saw the cut-up four straight away but it took a minute to fit the title into the photo. Bonus points for making me think!
