One of my top three picks in this challenge. The only shot that I saw on my first pass through that really jumped out at me. I wish this had placed much higher. I especially love how it was a very unique topic but one that still fit the challenge entirely.

I really like this idea and a good pic. Might want to sharpen it some.

I always hate when I get them, I think they're silly but in the back of my mind I'm thinking..."what if?" Very good use of controlled DOF, having the delete and backspace buttons in good focus is clever and unexpected.

I'm missing the connection, sorry. Is the 'Delete' key the focus of your image? I'm assuming it may be as it's centered in your photo. Perhaps the lighting could have been isolated some to give the area of your keyboard you wanted emphasized a little more impact. JMO of course. Good luck in the challenge.

Great idea, but the bottom's lack of focus is very distracting.

I'm usually not a fan of keyboard shots, but this one isn't that bad.

... but if you send it to a million people you will get a check from Bill Gates with Mrs. Field's cookie recipe and get to LIVE. Nice image, I'd gone in closer to the delete button but kudos for thinking of this.

Nice modern approach--much more original than most!

Good choice of a superstition..
Better focus woul've helped this picture a whole lot.

LOL! Very creative idea. :) Excellent use of DOF.

I put you in my top 10 for originality in a modern world, nice shot focusing on just the delete key

Nice idea and DOF

Nice bringing a new one to the table. But just showing me the keyboard isn't selling the idea. Nice dof on it though.

Only a small portion of this photo is in focus, it is a little frusterating on the eyes. 5.

Oh gosh. this is a GREAT concept. I'm sure people all over the world get those stupid emails. I would have liked the addition of a finger about to push the delete botton though. or at least the delete button in the best focus. here my eye goes to the F12 button as its in perfect focus.

hi. great concept, but i feel you could have got a lot closer in on the delete key.
