Congratulations on a phenomenal photo... I love the composition AND the lighting here... the darkenss adds a great sense of 'old' and 'foreboding' to my interpretation of this image.... These old statues are beautiful. I wish I had the opportunity to make photos like this in America. Our doesn't even date back this far :) Great shot... = 10 - jmsetzler

Interesting photo of something 'old'... The subject may be old, but the photo lacks visual impact for me... there is no 'wow' factor... - jmsetzler

Whatever this is... it's certainly old. The strip of clear focus across the center of the photo doesn't work very well. This shot needs either more depth of field or a different camera angle. The image lacks punch... - jmsetzler

Isn't dad too old for these toys?

I would much rather have seen something 'old' in the photo rather than a play on words in the title for the challenge... - jmsetzler

This is one of my favorite photos this week... the mood of this is completely 'old' and you have done a great job of capturing the challenge... The color toning you chose accents the age of this scene very nicely as well. I'm giving this photo a 10, but I still have a personal preference critique... I wonder if it would have been possible to shoot this from another angle... Possible the exact same angle viewing from the right side rather than this side... I think that being able to see the front of the carriage would be a nice enhancement.... good shot :) - jmsetzler

Interesting shot from the zoo :) I wonder if this particular photo could have been taken from a lower angle instead of looking down on the animals... just a thought :) It's like when I photograph children... I like to try to get down on their level rather than trying to point the camera down... :) - jmsetzler

Old Man of the Forest

wow.. this thing is massive... I would be curious to know how old this tree is.. do you know? These things are amazing. I would love to see them sometime... I think you made a great choice of including the people in the frame on the right... they give great perspective to the size of this tree.... good work :) - jmsetzler

nice view :) The clutter in the foreground adds a lot to this one... the darker sepia toning also adds a nice effect ... - jmsetzler

interesting effect with the water :) I would have tried to crop out the red line along the bottom of this photo... I think that a little bit of light diffusion between your flash and the subject could be an improvement also. when the flash is going to 'heat' up your image, you can do a few things to dampen it... one that works for me is to tape a piece of kleenex across the flash.. this dampens the flash and gives you the light you need for a subject shot like this one :) - jmsetzler

this is an interesting piece of art... i wonder if a tighter crop would have allowed you to remove the top portion of this image? The colorless part at the top is the only part that looks out of place... - jmsetzler
