An image that sadly approaches the ugly. The elements are well placed for success, but the choices to combine them seems much like creating a salad with old cheese, brown lettuce and a tomato or two. The dirty towel browned blue), scratched scale (white) and foot (with powder blue pjs) coming out of the bottom edge mesh into an image that does not appeal. All are well photographed, but they do not play well together.

In reviewing the technicals however, I cannot fault anything there, it is the ingedients of the image that have gone wrong. Worse is that the image does not invoke decision to me. Without the context of the challenge, scale, towel, foot, tile all come to mind, but the decision would have been better realized with a person's head stuck in a refrigerator, sorting through food choices that are good or bad for the weight subject that you have selected to make a statement on.

Solid technicals, weak concept execution that was harmed by subject choices that repelled the viewer and very weak realtionship to the challenge for this viewer leave me offering a 3.

This has a last-minute entry feel. The towel appears haphazardly placed, the model's foot needs either a pedicure or a sock. I can see the decision, but this photo lacks visual appeal.

um.... maybe you could've found a nicer foot for this. Good concept though.

I don't feel that the image conveys instantly recognizable decision. I don't understand it personally. But a sound photo none the less.
