1869 - The Golden Spike
by jrtodd

Comment:
A bit bright, but good content and decent composition.
Standing back and using a long telelens would compress the scene more, it would give less of a distant look.

"1984"

The idea is good, very Madonna.
The background spoils it a bit, sloppy and dirty grey while the subject is exposed hot (near overexposure). Some work on the background (pastel tint to fit the time) without creases and more balanced light on the girl would make it work better.
The border would work better with hard straight lines, the eighties favoured that presentation.

Interesting B&W conversion, heavy read filtering (negative blue in the channel mixer)? Almost near infrared on the greens. Great sky, I've been searching for that sky for four days but the crappy weather in our country didn't cooperate. :(

The mood is a bit dark, but I like it a lot. Would have liked to see some sails on the wings, it would bring out the windmill a lot better agains the sky.

The end of the best time in architecture?
Great composition, the tone fits the ambiance of the time.

Contrast and exposure/light works magically here. Who cares about the blown highligjts it's all about the subject hanging out of the window. Good job.

What America Was Built On = Factory Era 1942
by JunieMoon

Comment:
I don't think America was built on industry, but more on a determination, confidence and believe in themselves.
The bright yellow toning and contrast is interesting. The compotion works well, apart from the fact that the lines lead me to the bottem middle of the frame and shows nothing special there. 7

The subject and presentation is very interesting, but I don't see how the warm orange tone works with it. 7

The Battle for Stalingrad 19 August 1942 - 2 February 1943
by Falc

Comment:
All the telling elements are present, the top of the standard tells even more then the flag does. It is a bit bright, what doesn't correspond with such a hard battle (where one thinks of dark hard contrast exposures). Nevertheless a great shot, one of three nines in this challenge and therefore a tie for third place imo.
