 Basically just a doc printed from word with two different fonts. A "circle" of english font for the magnifying glass and a flash light on that area from an angel to brighten it up.

The text itself is just from the Home Security Act off wekepidia. No hidden meaning here from me, just an idea for a photo that sounded fun, no politics involved.

Its very unfortunate I couldn't get that spec off my lens/mirror. This will force me to take it in for the free cleaning!

I have that font on my computer and wondered if it was ever useful. Now I see... and it makes the subject of the challenge almost equally obscure. Hmm... what does it all mean?

The connection to the challenge is weak. The execution of the concept is good. I don't think this will win a ribbon but it is a very nice image.

Wonderfully creative photo. Well meets the challenge. Well photographed and presented. Would be better if the magnifying glass wasn't quite so bright but hard to improve on a 10. Best in show IMO.

Very well conceived... as to execution, I think it might be time for a new printer? The typeface is rather grainy...

Nice idea. Well executed. The positioning of the agency crest and the glass work well together. As does the spot-lighting on the glass.
