OMG, this is what I get when I try to do a speed challenge at the last minute. At least I'll be helping out Team Suck!
[Post Challenge}
Yeah, I had tried to change the white to black in Photoshop, but couldn't get it to work without messing up the rest of the image. The low scores were kinda expected; next time I won't try to rush something in.
{Featured Photograph?} How did my worst photograph end up as "featured?"

Very funny...
Came back to edit, since I was short with the comment at the last minute voting.
Plus this was my 1000, comment giving...
This was a great idea and would of probably done even better had the shadows not be there or it was in a bit more in focus.. I still like it, looks like others may have too just not as many to put you up highter... I guess that goes to show you it depends on the voters taste...
Looks like getting ready for an intense conversation. I would have reconsidered staying so close to the background to render those shadows out of the way. The concept is both good and funny. Bump.
Objects in this image are closer to the background than expected. This causes harsh shadows from the lighiting. Suggestion: Move a good distance from the background, frame up the image and use a diffuser (throw a sheet over the light, bounce the flash off the ceiling) to reduce the darkness of the shadows and use a very low depth of field to blur whatever shadow is left over.
Lots of white space here that does not add to the image, in fact, it directly vies for my attention.
