Absolutely outstanding creativity!!! This is the toughest photo for me to evaluate. I going back and forth on this one between a 9 and a 10. Probably will not be able to settle on a score untill the very end. Though the shot has good exposure, excellent focus for sharpness and detail, and great composition, I wish the shadow detail on the lower left and upper right sides would have been pulled out with fill lighting. I'm not sure whether the shadow is the effect you were actually after? Excellent effort. I rate this one very high (9 or 10?).

I would crop it even tighter than this. But the idea is amazing.

cute idea, but i don't get the connection between the newspaper and the ransom note, oh I get it, it's to prove the date the picture was taken, okay but I still want to see the note arranged more artfully, maybe at an angle in the foreground

Hilarious...the paper is a very nice touch. Great creativity and imagination. I almost want a "40 mile an hour burrito" just looking at it...almost.

Very creative. I think this would have been even better if you had spread out the cut-up pages. ¡Yo quiero Taco Bell!

well thought out and set up. I think colour would have been better for this tho. The ransom note and dog would have been the only things in colour and really grabbed the viewer's attention. In B+W I find the newspaper too strong and distracting.
