I took this in natural daylight, using the Auto settings on my 602zoom, I altered the brightness & contrast a little in PS, and this is the end result. I thought I would steer clear of the separated egg idea and went for something more original. (Well as far as I am concerned it is anyway). Thanks for viewing my image.

Great Idea and very well shot. I realy enjoy the way you allow the veiwer to read a little peice of the letter. It leaves the veiwer wanting more. I also feel the the bright red envelope works well with the shot. Fits the challenge nicely, tells a stor, and is well exucuted. I feel however that a ring or somthing of the sort would have added a little more to the story. But was not necessry well done.
You lost me at John. The cliche ruined a very effective photo. To me it would have been much more effective to have let me think "It's a Dear John" letter rather than spoon feed it to me. Dear Ambrose, Theodore or even Walter would have been better... I would have supplanted John and thanked you for letting me think a bit. Never underate your audience, they will hold you accountable for it.
Someone does one of these "dear John" takes in almost every chalenge, so unless you are new here I would say this is not very original. A good part of what I score an image on has to do with originality and as there is not much appealing about this other then it meets the challenge I won't score this very high.
