This would have looked cooler if your cropped out the upper portion of smoke, I think.

The knife throws off the effect for me in this one...

An Unfortunate Cookie

Comment:
Just as a response to thelsel's explanation of this photo, you should know that fortune cookies originate purely from the marketing culture of Chinese restaurants in the US. They don't come from Korea, China, or anything truly Asian... but in any case, I still stand by my earlier comment that this is a good photo.

Be yourself, Be different, Stand out!

Technically this is an attractive image. In terms of content, it does seem to fall a little flat for me. The command to be an individual seems so much more thrilling than these chess pieces can allow for, and it's like you're almost reducing the ideal to something a little mundane. I think you can still use the chess pieces to spread that kind of message, but you'd have to make a more radical image - right now it's like trying to tell someone to "be unique" when the image itself looks like it's a stock photo for magazine ads. But don't get me wrong! it still does look good visually.

Although visually it could be a bit more interesting, this is perfectly suitable as an editorial in a newspaper - good thing you\'re one of the few this week who use your image alone as your 1000 words (i.e. not relying on your title to send your message).

Technically, this is a vey good photo. However, as this is intended to be propaganda, the wooden guy really doesn't add much to the power of the photo. I think if you're going to advocate this subject, this would be a case where real peopel would be lot more persuasive. Hope that made sense.

Very nice image of propaganda, and you're one of only a few who's images don't use the title as a necessary crutch. Good job!

"I do"

Very nice image of propaganda. In terms of content, maybe you would've had a stronger effect if your background ad wasn't from a computer monitor... the monitor kind of weakens the seriousness of the message (unless you wanted it to be quirky/humorous, but htne it loses some of its propaganda-flavor).

One of my top scores of the week, because: 1) You actually know what propaganda is. 2) You made an interesting image. 3) Your image can stand alone without exposition in the title!!! So really, you're one of only a handful who didn't really irk me...
