I wasn't very creative this week, but I like the idea you chose. :)

Glad to see you back Jemit. Hope you are feeling well??

I really liked your idea-I always do.

Perhaps I could offer a few pointers, though, to make a great idea stand out?

First-I would write the message in a dark black marker so it REALLY stands out and the viewer won't have to concentrate on reading it. You want the message to be automatically clear.

Second~ I would have had my camera sitting on the desk at the very same plane as the paper. If you notice, yours is looking slightly down. If you can't focus while reaching, bend down and focus: then straighten up and trust your focus: THEN reach. Being on the same level as the paper would add an interesting dimension-more artsy.

Finally, I would have pulled up my sleeve. I often find that the less CLUTTER the better and a shirt sleeve doesn't (hardly) ever add to the photo, only adds something more visually cluttering.

I am always very impressed with your ability to think creatively on these challenges. This week is no different. Keep up the good work.
