Thank you for submitting your photo to the DPChallenge, Rock, Paper, Scissors.
An interesting concept and capture. The idea is a good one. Literally making the words of the title work for you. You show great detail. You have focus on the middle of the frame to relay your message. Somehow, the physical aspect of your action, is not really visible. The scissors cutting, or piercing the rock is not happening. The idea is good the exacution falls a bit short.
I like the black and white conversion. It adds to the drama of the scissors concept. The way the scissors are open to cut helps translate the title back to the viewer. Again, there is no contact with the rock.
Actually the rock looks realistic. If you had not mention it was a printed picture it could almost pass as real. Good one.
Technically there is some harsh lighting on the upper left of the frame. As well as in the upper right hand side. The center of the scissors also looks overdone. I see that you shot this on "Auto" setting. Yeah, sometimes if you have the option on your camera, "Auto" is not the best. It gets trick out with certain room type lighting. Actually it gets confused especially with incandescent lighting. I am not sure if your camera has other settings other than "Auto". But, if it did you could experient with different camera settings.
The scissors also looks suspended somehow in the air. But to your credit, you can't see the glue on or stick on surface on the scissors.
Great idea and concept.
Good luck in your next DPChallenge.
