Step away from the reel...go to the store...buy ANYTHING but a bait-casting reel! ;^) You have to either love em, or hate em.

Great concept for this challenge. Wonderful lighting and nice crisp focus. I'll bet you brought the beach inside for this one didn't you? He-he. That's cool. Well done. 9

Interesting take on the challenge theme. I like it. Do wish the paper was illuminated a little better.

Boulevard of broken trucks

It's always interesting to see when more than 1 person runs across the same exact item to enter for a challenge (see Aged entry). ;^) For sure this is a compelling subject and fun to look at. This version has some issues with lighting as I find it a bit harsh (looks like flash was used). Too much of the subject in this seems to be the steering wheel. 4

Good luck in the challenge.

The lighting in this version is much more appealing, natural and not harsh. Good job on bringing out the details inside the cab. This angle/composition works well as the building to the left has been eliminated and therefore the distraction removed. 7

Good luck in the challenge.

Yikes! How did that happen? Hope the shooter is ok. As for the image, two things stand out to me that could make this a little better: Lighting (it's a little dark), and focus (well, maybe not...appears that the shotgun shells are worn in the red making them look fuzzy). Anyway, good luck in the challenge.

Double broken. Man and the guitar. Interesting. Based on the composition it appears that the man is the main subject. Would have liked to see (not sure how) the guitar head emphasized a little more. The positioning of items in the frame is good (bottle, man, guitar). Not a big fan of the grungy look but this should do ok for you.

Good luck in the challenge.

It's an interesting photo to look at with nice earthy tones, but I'm missing the connection to the challenge. What's broken? Looks like a person standing in the upper-middle left but can't tell what he/she is doing. Sorry for missing the point. :(

Good luck in the challenge.

White House

He-he...I've seen this place in other challenges before. Quite the place to visit I gather. It's an interesting take on the challenge as the building certainly appears broken. The thing holding this back is the exposure...very overexposed and blownout in the highlights.

Good luck in the challenge.

I don't know that I would move too far left to get the pole farther right. The pole would be great on the right vertical thirds line. The weeds, IMO, add character and feel to the shot. Slight boost in contrast maybe...I like the deeper sepia tone that another poster (in the forum thread) added...maybe not quite so rich. Never mind, scratch the sepia part of this comment. ;^)
