I just like the contrast between the light blue and grey - I know the shot will get a low rating, but I don't care :o)

I'd prefer not to have the cutting off of the envelope...also try more light to produce a darker more vivid shadow...looks like you might have two ro three light sources too. Try 1 bright one.

Would like a stronger, sharper shadow.

Good thought! I love your title! Perhaps if there was a black mail letter also in the envelop, it would have helped. The crop at the lower end is also a little too abrupt. Perhaps a little more breathing space required. ( Or may be if a border is give to the whole image it would work fine?)

This is a good example of a photo that you need to look at for a few minutes. Almost an optical illusion here (was that intentional?); if I look just right the entire image looks like a solid gray object, with the envelope forming a cutout....

Neat idea. This might make a stronger statement on a colored backdrop (more contrast between the envelope and background). The background lighting could be a little more even too. I love how the envelope shows...lit perfectly.

Nice framing, the only (minor) suggestion I have would be a letter in the envelope.

I see the shadow here but I just can't get interested in it...

I like the title, the placement of the envelope (both being on its side and in the photo), but I would've liked a little more contrast (which may not have been possible w/out blowing the white of the envelope) and a just a tad more defined shadow.

Nice, simple, but a bit plain. Shadow is less than distinct, with other shadows hinting that you might have multiple, conflicting light sources. Brand new envelope? Photo 9 Creativity 7 Shadows 7 total 7

Inventive. Nice idea.

Love the title and the photo.

nice concept, the shadow maybe could have been a little sharper
