Still beat my eggs with the old wire whisk

This is a fabulous shot but I really don't want to sound like a DNMC hater but this really does feel like a shoehorn. Maybe I don't spend enough time in the kitchen but doesn't everyone still use a wire whisk to beat eggs?! It just doesn't feel like 'old ways' enough to me. It's a great image and it's hard to mark you down for it, but I have to do a -1 out of respect to all the others that seem better interpreted imho Brilliant shot in every other respect.

Hash Browns

Errrr...good luck with this one! Are you troll baiting, or is this a genuine entry because I'm confused. Surely you know that the presumed subject 'hash browns' are totally out of focus and unrecognisable. Even if you knew that, this doesn't seem very Old Ways either. Or maybe this is your proudest shot ever and I'm missing the point. Yours in a totally-lost-but-trying-to-be-constructive way, Quasi ;)

I love this shot. Her expression is priceless and really conveys 'where the heck does this go?'. The composition is great but the post production (or apparent lack thereof) lets it down. With a little work on the contrast, grain and levels I think this photo could really stand out.

I love the simplicity, and the way you've added variation in the gels on the lights. Lovely shot.

There's great colour and shapes in there - I think you could afford a bit of contrast and sharpening on this to really bring it out.

Nice idea but there's no real focal point here, so more DoF would bring out the works more as there's so much interest there.

Beautifully composed shot. Feels fisheyed, which really adds to the perspective. I'm not a big fan of the toning - the toning adds to the old factor but is just a tad too strong imho.

old ways will always have a special place in my heart...

Lomo love forever! (you can keep the film!!). Nice shot and way more innovative than other 'film is old' shots. I think the film itself could benefit from being sharper though.

Beautiful candid. The b&w really works, contrasting the brickwork with the white plaster. The backlight from the sun also really makes a big impact on the lovely older couple, both in the lighting on his jacket but the shadows on the floor. I don't know how you feel about borders but I think a small border would really help frame this lovely shot.

Great title - I don't think I'd have spent the time looking at the uses on the side but with the title it really diverted attention. Would have been a nicer shot if you could have kept a clean background as those tiles are a tad in the way, and the texture of the goop itself could be brought out better with a bit more DoF (if sharper you may well win more points for the 'ooo shiny' factor)
