Gaming; the old fashioned way

Nice idea, good strong colors. Depth of field might have been a little better.

I like the textures, but I'm really not sure about the shot as a whole. I don't love it but I don't dislike it either. Wish I didn't have to be so wishy washy like that.

Nice. Like the lighting and colors here. Depth of field does not go all the way front to rear, but I've battled that issue myself. (Darned laws of physics, interfering with a good shot!)

Oh, I get it! It's kind of like an old fashioned form of text messaging! Way retro cool!

Cool looking statue with great detail. Seems to be too evenly balanced with the tree as the subject of this photo, however.

From The Light Of A Window

I see some potential in this shot. The scene itself is a good one, however, the contrast is dull and there are some purple streaks going through it. Not sure what caused it. Perhaps it may be from adjustments needed to bring out the details from the dark areas?

Time Never Ages

I have not worn a watch in at least 10 years. The Air Force trained me to always remove watches, rings and jewelery when working on electrical equipment, so it's just something else in my pocket all day. Besides, I always have something else with the time on it. I'm sure I am not the only one that has stopped wearing a watch, and that's why I find your entry quite appropriate for this challenge.

The composition here tries to lead the eye, except for the brightness over on the right being a distraction. There's not a lot of wow to it, I'm afraid, and the image needs some skew correction.

Getting closer to the watch and showing some of it's detail may have helped.

Resistance is futile! Sorry, really bad electronics pun there, but I had to do it or I would burst.

A lot of fascinating detail in this shot, and it certainly fit the theme, but as artistic photography, It's just a snapshot. I'm afraid I don't see any real composition to it. My eye just wanders around the frame.

Love this interpretation of the theme! I find the picture good, though a touch dark. However, that darkness draws my eye to the aloe vera plant.

Could be considered a shoehorn by some, but the title clearly explains your interpretation of this theme. I'm afraid don't care for this one however. The lighting seems harsh and the look on her face is not appealing. The hidden mouth dopes not help either. Sorry to be so hard on a shot that is probably of your kid.
