 A message written in Morse Code. For those of you that *didn't* go in search of morse code and translate it (which I'll suspect is most of you), the message reads, "Voters, You will give me a ten and a wonderful comment. STOP. You will give me a ten and a wonderful comment. STOP. Arty"

Morse code is one of the first electronically transmitted languages to become mainstream, and before telephones, the telegraph was the main instrument of contact and communication over distance. I've taken a form of communication that is almost *solely* electronic, and put it in a written form for fun, and perhaps, just perhaps, the subliminal messaging will work. I hope that people get what it is..

I think I might be one of the first.. if not *the* first.. person on DPC to ever get a comment written exclusively in morse code :)

Thank you geoffox! :)

Thank you to everyone that took the time to comment. This scored much higher than anticipated, and I'm very happy with the outcome. Subliminal messaging *does* work! (to a point. haha).

Very nice... I haven't seen morse code written since I was a little girl, and my DaD wanted me to get my radio operators license... Brings back memories.
Nicely composed, I would have liked to have seen a bit more drama in the lighting though, so that there was a little more shadow falling onto the printed page, and rimming the envelope. Still, over all, very nice.

excess of light. Colour would helpded a better result creating a more dinamic composition.
