Shaping an outline

This is a color image. I would not expect this for a Woodbury type. Also the image is very dark, loosing a lot of detail in the shadows. The tones and detail in the path and stone circles are fine but the rest of the image does not add to it, in my view.

Beautiful clean still life with the light and shadows really bringing out the shape of the objects and showing all the details.

It has good detail and nice soft tones, plus an old style border, but for me it does not have the feel of a Woodbury type. This is probably caused by the very light background. To me, it just looks like a normal modern image colored to achieve a bit old style effect.

Stunning, a different subject than expected, with great tones and detail. I love how the tones of background and flamingo at the bottom are equal and then the background graduates to dark while the flamingo goes light and stands out, still showing all detail in the feathers and beak.

people never smiled in old photography

They maybe never smiled, but did not look frustrated or angry either ;-) They tried to look their best. The image does not show the fine detail as expected from a woodbury type. Lots of soft focus. For me, the sepia tone and border is not enough to give it the old feel it needs.

Lovely scene, great soft tones. Love the wide angle approach to use the foreground steps and lines draw the eyes into the perspective. I like it. Nit picking: I would clone out the two small parts of the branch on the right , just above the trees.

Great image with beautiful light and good empty space. It does not have the old feel to it with lots of mid-tones and detail, as expected from woodbury type.

Nice image with an old style feel to it. Good composition. I wanted to suggest that it might have been better moving the camera a bit up and to the right, but then I realized you would have lost the open part of the cloth, which adds nice detail. Just a bit ore empty space top right then? Or crop a bit of the left? It just feels a little bit unbalanced to me.

Beautiful, with great detail and great distribution of tones. My eyes are drawn to the building and then to the mountains and back.

What I meant to say was that, even though it is a great shot of the bird, I don't like the fact that the background is all blown out with no structure visible at all. Would have preferred some sky if possible. (still rated it high though :-) )
