 This was my third idea in for the challenge, and I think my best one. I hope everyone else feels the same.

I just wanted to show a timeless way that we have all waited in the past. Who hasn't circled a day on the calendar for a birthday, wedding, holiday, last day of work, etc. and then crossed out days as it gets closer?

I also like how the angle and depth of field says the end is clearly in focus, but it feels so far off.

Clever take on this challenge. Like the use of DOF and the marking of the calender to show the date being 'waited' for. Well done.
