Picture of the Past

I think the contrast of old and new is good but to be blunt, a little uninteresting. I think your choice of background is too distracting with all the textures. Maybe if you have moved the cameras away and used a shallow DOF to blur it, it would have been better. As it is, it reflects the flash in a distracting way. I like that you've placed the film canisters around the foreground for interest, but shouldn't the ones in front of the Spartus have been 120's [ not knocking you for that ;) ]. I'm giving this image a 5.

I like the photo very much, but for me, the connection to the challenge is tenuous. 7

Grandfather's Voigtlander vs Grandson's Nikon

The old and new part is fine. The compostion is a little disconnected for me. It appears as if you are trying to keep them separate via the use of the frame, but for me the frame is a distracting element.

I think your composition would have been better without the plug and cord being so prominant, and the chair in the background is kind of busy. Either remove it or shoot with a shallower DOF to separate the subjects from it. 5

Since this is an advanced challenge, I would have filled that chip on the middle figure. 5
