I had so many ideas for this challenge I want to see "Literalisms II" next week!
How about "Love Hurts" (close-up of somebody getting a heart-shaped tattoo, with a drop of blood on the skin near the needle?)
I also had "Many hands make light work" on my list, but my idea was to have 5 hands reaching in to the center of the frame, all with a finger touching the base of a seemingly unpowered (by normal methods, anyway) light bulb, but with the light bulb illuminated (sort of like my "Shadows" entry, but with the bulb more obviously "on").
I tried this idea with two different set ups but couldn't get any of them to come out either. I think I did about 10 different things for this one and it was the very last one I entered but sadly I didn't finish tweeking it, just entered the first edit, then finished the comments and sacred and it was 11:59 PM, to late to tweek and re-enter. :)

I will post my re-edited version after the challenge
thought of "Keeping up with the Jones'"... live near Beverly Hills and Bel Air.. so it would have been easy to shoot.. but got busy. Not much of a loss, because it's a little too straightforward, compared to what all my favorite images are (play on words, rather than illustrating the actual thing)..
