Title from a punk song ... sign from a furniture store ... black humor from ......
My alternate title was "Reversal of Fortune" -- though the original title (Dark Victory -- from an old Bette Davis movie) would have applied had I left this in the Religion Challenge.
Trying to make it look like a large tomb seen against a starry sky.

Sorry to give you a low score, but the photo quality is very low. I don't really get your "science" point either, but I'm assuming you have one and not lowering my scoring based on that.
well that's an odd one.. good points for the humor factor. i'm not sure that i like the graininess of the photo, but i suppose it works if you're going for a space kind of look.
