Orange clothes definitely show a penchant for independence. The only thing I would change is showing her feet, hopefully bare.

This is a marvelous Americana photo. The black and white touch gives it a feeling of agelessness, like it could be now or 50 years ago. I like the touch of the old fashioned flag.

This is such a cute image. I loved it. I just cracked up when it came up on my monitor. I'm not sure if it really depicts independence, but I'm giving it a 10 anyway. Thanks for the bit of whimsy.

Loved the shot. It looks very rich. The reflection in the hood was well done.

Rims of time....

Great shot. I like the use of black and white. Gives it a real dated look. Contrast is okay. If you don't have a tripod, use one for images like this that are stationary. It makes a big difference in sharpness. Also, my camera has a setting for high contrast. If yours does too, see how using it will work when shooting b&w. What you see in color is not what you get in b&w.

Nicely done. The only thing missing is some food being prepared. I give it a nine. (I see a crock over to the right. If you opened a jar of pickles and put then into it, it would have definitely added to the composition.

I would have liked to see more color saturation. Most editing programs have a setting to change hue and saturation without going against the rules of the challenges.

A nice use of symmetrical lines.

In the Midst of Cobwebs

Great image of showing vinyl differently from everyone else. I like the cobwebs though the image is somewhat overexposed in the highlights. I'll give it an 8 for creative framing. As to the overexposed area, just putting a darker cloth or paper over the forefront could have cut back on the glare.

Sorry, but I can still get these films, and I still use them, as well as slide film. You should have stretched a little to come up with a better way to convey obsolete.
