Music On Records

Oooh - I have lots of records! I even still have a turntable. Does that mean *I'm* old?!

Violet's Joy
by SandyP

Comment:
Good choice of subject, composition, colors. Makes me want to know more about her ... she seems wearily happy, and not convinced that happiness will last more than a fleeting moment.

Good choice of subject(s). DOF and lighting are good. Composition is a bit staid but I guess that's appropriate for the time period (though not necessarily for Frank himself).

My New Flower

Comment:
Nice detail; love how some of the petals are still curled and the bee is holding onto them.

Fresh out of the pod ...
by funkyfunk

Comment:
Interesting DOF; the pods seem to be floating, or pushed in front of a stage curtain of green. Not connected to anything. Don't know that I like the effect, but it's interesting.

Prestine Tines

Comment:
Clean composition, nicely lit and angled. Doesn't shout "new" but I can see the connection.

Indian Pooja

Comment:
Very colorful; I will have to go Google "Pooja" and find out more about what I am looking at!

Mountains Suit Him
by FaithInRabbit

Comment:
Not really seeing what's new here (the mountains?). Colors are a bit washed out. I can just barely see rays of sun and wish they were brought out more with increased contrast. The guy looks sort of randomly there; maybe a different angle showing his blissfully happy face (assuming that's his expression)? Dunno'. Is this Skyline Drive, BTW? It looks like it.

Pete's New Toy! (1930 Ford Model A)
by Simax

Comment:
This may well be new to Pete (whoever or whereever he is) but nothing in the picture is telling me that. It does look nicely redone so maybe newly restored would work better as a concept to fit the picture into the challenge. That said ... I would like a much closer crop as I don't think the background adds anything to what is an interesting car, and the background colors seem a little too magenta which is not at all complementary to the car.

Mommy's New Bracelet
by timfythetoo

Comment:
Why so solemn? The look and the pose seem too mature for a child playing dressup ... makes this a little uncomfortable for me. Lighting is quite dramatic. Might like a little more negative space above the model to balance the space on the right.
