 I made the feet/scale look dirty on purpose . I liked the idea, but during the voting period I had a lot of thoughts about how I could have done it better (amongst other things, washing my feet, heh). Being as it is my highest scoring entry so far, I surely cannot complain.

I love this! Can't quite put my finger on why. I think it's because of the kind of old-timey feel of it? Am I crazy for thinking so? Possibly. Anywho, I think it's great. Definatly not a "5" photo in my book. Wish the boxed in thinkers here at DPC could see what I see here.

interesting perspective, but I don't get the PJ connection. Maybe if there was a crowd around the feet.

you don't really weigh that, right? Someone was pushing down on you for the shot - I'm sure of it. 7

Definitely something that is hitting the news a lot lately. And an image like this would make a good photo illustration.

Great representation. Only complaint is the grout running down the right hand side, and the feet are really , really ugly, kind of like mine!
