Rock, paper (printed with picture taken moments earlier), scissors. Should meet the challenge! And yes, a set-up shot. I didn't just happen upon this one.
One of my first "successes" at DPC was in the first Rock Paper Scissors challenge - a 5.3!! I was so delighted! Little did I know that was where many of my scores would land. I'm still delighted with a 5.3, mind you!

It seems this is a bit too blue-tinged, which I'll admit I didn't even notice. Also apparently way too complicated despite my very determined attempt to keep it simple and meet the challenge.
I simply should not, under any circumstances, attempt to set up a shot. And here I thought it was kinda clever.
The beloved 24-105 died after this shoot. It is at the Canon hospital in Irvine where a very large sum of money was left in hopes that the lens can be restored.

So did any of you even notice that the paper had a print of a picture of the scissors on it? Did you notice it was cut, this picture, with the scissors? Is this simply a sucky photograph? Why can I not get the majic number of 6? Everyone writes lots of posts about how easy it is if you just follow the formula.... it really isn't easy at all. |

Excellent composition, with a nice "Easter egg" of printed scissors (I wonder how many of fast voters have missed that entirely?). I actually love the flatness of it, gives it a nice abstract feel. The blue tint in the printed part does let it down a little bit, but overall - well done! No comparison to your entry in the first RPS challenge |

Well planned and executed - and an attractive image. |

It took me a minute to see what was happening, a nice surprise, perhaps too much blue tint but still a good image. |

This is a VERY original and well thought out composition. I especially like that the shadows are cast by the printed scissors, and not by the real ones. This is NOT a "simple" shot, but well planned and executed. |

Took me a while to see it for what it was! |
