Hi Ronald,
I like the way you think. This is not only funny, but a very pure interpretation of the theme that many of us digi-geeks can relate to. :o)
Here are my suggestions. I would prefer to see you posting at 800x600 for more dramatic effect. Also, have a closer look at the level of compression as I'm a bit worried that viewers may be missing some of the essential blackness of your image. Most of all, I'd like to see your exif data. How can we learn from you if you keep your cards so close to your chest? ;o) I just had a look at your file in PhotoShop and the exif showed .. what the?! LOL
Cheers, John

This would have been a terrific image, if it was not for that really visible hotpixel that I can see in the lower left... yes...yes... right there.. Maybe it's may monitor but I would consider sending it back .....JK ;-)
Hey Ronald, you should have waited with your explanation for a few more comments on your submission, coz I just wanted to congratulate you (and your cam, of course) for an excellent hot-pixel-free shot that I enjoyed to the full extent and I am sure this shot has brought you the joy you have always expected to see! LOL Now its time for you to go out for "joy" shots at night with such a perfect camera in hand! Cheers, Feri

Hello Niamh,
no, this is not as far fetched as you think. I thought it would be easy, as the most single topic to be discussed the last year(s) for people with digital camera's was/is the number of hot pixels they have with their camera, or better the lack off, I will rename this to "My Lenscap", that may be more accurate.
It implies that a perfect dark frame, i.e. all pixels value=0, is the ultimate joy of a digital camera owner, or so we are being told. ;-)))
Just look at it as my kind of humor.
Ronald

I'm afraid I just "don't get" this entry into the competition - I would have thought that being presented with an entirely black frame would mean the opposite of joy for most photographers. Obviously I don't feel able to comment on framing, composition etc. when there is nothing to see. If it's meant to be along the lines of the "black square" concept, I think Malevich does it better.
