| Congratulations on the personal best, tough challenge with all the high scores getting a +7 and not being in the top ten is rare; well seen and beautifully processed. |

| Very nice effect. It's got a softness, amidst the hard edges of the metal and wood. I like this alot. Interesting composition. |

| Great still life...not sure it would make a Nat'l Geographic cover...but you should sell a lot of photos on DPC! |

| You've really captured a period so well with this image. This picture has nostalgia and reminiscense written all over it. It's not just the vintage vehicles but the lighting as well that lend it that quality. Has a dream-like quality and I also like the arrangement of elements in the frame. |

| I like the glow and soft focus. Adds to the feeling the title makes you look for. I wish the tricycle had a completely dark backdrop - the wheel of the cart breaks up the lines. I like having the old cars on either side. |

| Fantastic lighting here. I love how you acheived a soft dreamy look especially on such "hard" subjects. Very beautiful. |

| I really liked this but feel that the left hand car could be cropped outthe background looks almost painted. Really beautiful rich colours. |

I do like the scenery and how you composed and framed it.
The softness is a bit too strong IMO, don't know if NG would use this style.
Still, a great image. |

A well-crafted nostalgia with sufficient visual evidence of software manipulation to appeal to those with a preference for a -natural- image (the blur appears more intense in the darker fields of the image).
While there are several points of interest, the choice the tricycle as the primary subject is absolutely charming. The crispness of detail (i.e. the chain hanging off the wagon) delightfully discernible in the background provides an amazingly real depth to this picture, a fact also reflected (literally) in the cool tones of automobile chassis (foreground) and the warmer ones pervading the background.
Although a compromising composition (centricity and division into near-thirds within a very narrow horizontal crop), the image maintains an impeccable balance (between light and dark areas).
While the nostalgia found and created here suggests an easily available aesthetic appreciation, the image (via emphasis on a child's toy), nonetheless, evokes emotion and holds some historical interest.

| nice touch using a soft focus with outside rays of light. almost dreamlike, tricycle is the perfect touch |

| Wonderful. The light coming in from the window really adds to the mood that time indeed does stand still within this structure. I must say that it seems that there are details and sharpness that were erased, perhaps from using a noise reduction program. Whatever happened, it makes unexpected places within the picture seem foggy and that causes some discomfort when viewing it. The main problem areas are the right headlight and bumper, and the tricycle and to a lesser degree the horse things on the right and the back wall. I do like it a lot but feel that more work or a reshoot is in order. |

| This photo has a great mood. It has a really warm look to it in a timeless kind of way. It easily could've been greyscaled and I personally would've done that to make it look more vintage, but I'd have made a huge mistake because that's what I do... You did the right thing here. Excellent image 9 |

| I like the mood this photo conveys, takes you back in time. Also like your choice to make this photo \"soft\". Don't know if it is necessarily National Geographic-ish photo but really like it none the less. |

| This is one of the best photographs I've seen on the site. Such a contast between childhood and manhood (at least to me). The softness is brilliant. Unfortunately it doesn't fit the challenge very well. That's all that's keeping you from a 10. |

Hard to put into words but simply put, this a great shot. 10 |

| Great image of past times. I am just wondering whether the tricycle and cart alone, without the cars, would have made it stronger. Not sure. |

| Nice, but a little too soft and overly composed for NG. Still a great image. |
