Vintage Toaster

Comment:
I like the shot very much. There's only two things that detract from it: the lines in the upper left corner (end of counter?) and the cord so out of focus at the end. The reflection on the toaster is fascinating. With a little more depth of field and slid over more on the counter, I would have given it a 7 or an 8. As it is: 6

Nice shot! My husband greatly appreciated the title, as well. (he's a physicist.)

The television and the baby

I do like the idea, but it's very hard to tell that it's a television. Perhaps a different angle would have kept the reflection, but still have given the appliance a little more of the spotlight. (also the toys in the background are distracting. But I like the block rug!)

This is actually quite cool! Though it freaks my eyes out looking at it. I think you'll get hit because of the pixelation on the right. (I don't mind it, but it drives my husband batty when my photos are like that...) 7

Nice shot, but not very interesting, imo. Maybe if it was in the process of filtering, it might have added some interest?

That Thing at the Bottom

Interesting shot, but I'm finding the things on the left hand side of the picture to be distracting. Maybe if you had desaturated the reds and blues (cyans?) it might have helped.

I like the humor, but I'm sorry, I just can't see a cat fitting my definition of an appliance: "A device or instrument designed to perform a specific function, especially an electrical device, such as a toaster, for household use." and even though he/she certainly performs a specific function, it's just not a device or instrument. Sorry!

interesting idea. Your colors seem to be rather oversaturated. Undersaturating, or even b&w with sepia might give it an even more "used up" feel.

I don't care for the inner border. I think it would be stronger without it. I do like the chaos and the angle, however! Seems a tad pale. Did you play a little more contrast? I'd be curious if more contrast would hurt or help the photo...
