I know the execution here was terrible, but I had this image in mind, and I didn't have the heart to not submit it after shooting for the challenge.

The idea here is that scissors, paper and rock are three things that have equal power in the game. None of them can out-muscle more than one other. The idea jumped out wen considering the "all parts being equal" part of the challenge description.

I really wanted to suspend the elements in the air, but the rock was just too heavy, and by the time I got to shooting this I was really overtired - laying them on the black velvet backdrop had to do. All the elements really needed quite different lighting, but I didn't have the energy to light this properly - would have been quite complicated.

Thanks for the kind comments.

I think this is a great idea and I'm glad I took a dive to check what was under the ribbon surface.
Thanks.

So clever! I love this picture, and the black and white effect really enhances it somehow. hard to explain.

I just don't get the title. Photo wise I think the proportions are off and that bugs me. The hands are too small for the scissors and the rock and that just throws off the whole thing for me.

Nice idea. Feels like the objects are floating in space.
I'm a bit distracted by the hands on the paper. I think I would have like the more abstract feel of a simple sheet of paper.
