Great angle. Interesting use of color to focus on the man.

Nice composition. Great textures. Seems just a tad too dark.

Smoking in the 1950s

Cool! Where did you get this object? Great use of minimal color. I think I'd like it better if it was set up in context, i.e. on a table with a lamp or something. This definitely shots the object and gets the point across but I think it could have been more subtle if placed in some context. Well executed.

Gorgeous lighting! I like the highligh on the object in the lower right. Sky is beautiful too. Long exposure make the reflections look great.

Very nice idea. I think I'd prefer just a touch less abstract. If you showed a hint of the label it would tell me what it is without the title. Also I think I'd go for an angle shot so some is out of focus. Without the title it's hard to know what it is. Nice lighting.

I love the close-up with limited DoF. Black and white works great too. Nice emphasis on texture, shape and tones.

Classic shot! Where did you find one of those floppies?! I love the idea of the teenage girl totally confused by the crazy floppy, trying to put it in a current day machine (emphasized even more by the DVD drive on the side of the PC). Lighting is slightly greenish yellow which isn't a problem but is a minor suggestion.

When relaxing involved tea, a pipe, and a good book to read.

Very nice. Beautiful color and contrast, nice use of the black background. White border really sets it off. I like the hint of the lamp shade. A few very minor ideas/suggestions... lamp cord is slightly distracting and leads my eye out of the frame, I think I'd prefer the glasses and pipe not to be cut off at the bottom and I think you could have arranged the objects with more depth and let some be out of focus. You could get the same feel but help us know which objects to focus on, i.e. the cup and pot and let the lamp be out of focus. Just a few thoughts... still a very nice shot!

Ooh... that's older than anything I was aware of. Great lighting and choice of high key background for light objects. Black and white works well. I wonder if it might have been better to put the main circle offcenter. It's very heavily weighted to the center of the frame.
