Wow...16 1's. I didn't see that happening when I submitted. Hindsight being 20/20, I should have placed someone in front for scale. I think most people that didn't think that I added a border in PS, probably believed this was a toy shot with a small aperature to get the folks in the background in focus for a "perspective illusion". Whatever the reason, it failed miserably. Here is the original crop.

Really surprised by the large number of low marks here - without even any comments. How rubbish. I thought it was neat. 6 from me. Maybe people were annoyed because the left hand edge of the "box" goes wonky.

Holy cow, it looks like you did get mauled by the "I think he cheated, but I'm too scared to ask for validation, I'll just give it a 1" crowd.

I'm not quite sure why you have an even bottom but an uneven top. Was the prop frame not square? Sometimes not being square to the facade will do that, but it should be both top and bottom unless you rotated to make the text horizontal and cropped the bottom. (ya, I think that's what you did).

The age-old advice to shoot at a different time of day may have helped a tiny bit as well. We got the minorly distracting glare on the window and the lighting on the background looks a bit harsh.

I think it was a nice, creative shot. It's hard to recover from 16 ones...

Some people could try to DQ this thinking the text put on after... I might be wrong though... Thinking that is what it is, I give 7

I would like to see the original for this one. I see that it has been validated but I still don't see it. Can you send it to me? Gave you a 10 for confusion

This looks like the picture of ad, rather than an original, interesting composition.

This is so well framed that I wonder how many people are going to try to get you DQ for adding lettering, heh
