Very interesting image, like everyone else says I can also hear the break. I do agree with many of the comments this would have been a wonderful motion photo also.

The focus and dof are good on this. I tend to agree about the blue of the pool table most are green but I have seen a few blue ones, and I am thinking the lack of lighting after the intial flash is the reason for the deepness of the blue table and the balls being a little dark.

Overall it is a good shot and there isn't a lot you can do to improve on it, but if there is any kind of a motion challenge in the near future I'd do it again if I were you =o)

Very dusty/dirty - wouldn't have looked better cleaned up to look like we were there 1929 not that this came from 1929?

This photo stands nicely on it's own, but does not strongly say "office" to me.

I know this might seem nit picky, but it seems like the surface area on which this dusty antique phone is sitting is awfully clean. Of course, white doesn't really show the dust as well. Very nice subject matter and good placement in the photo.

I like the shot: composition is good, lighting is good, subject matter is decent. The dust is a nice touch except for one thing, petty really, but you wiped some of the dust off, setting up the shot. How could you not? You may have been better off cleaning up the clock altogether. Just my opinion. 6 ( 7 is my highest score given this challenge).

Neat idea but it needed some context background.

Super stop motion photo. Unique idea for sound, too. I like it lots!

I can hear the classic sound of the cue ball hitting the racked balls. Very well done.

Nice concept, but a diffused or bounced flash would have been better
