Nice grouping. Not too busy. Well shot. Sepia tone works well.

5 - Good composition to meet the Challenge (in my opinion a shot of this put into a time capsule would fairly well depict the era for future generations). Not sure about the spelling out of the title, sure it is different, but in looking at all the thumbnails, I personally like seeing them all with just the 'year' in numbers. Criticism; whilst I like the simplicity, and the composition is good, the lighting is also nice, I would like to see perhaps a little more 'yellowing' here and softening. I think you captured the candle well and I think if you had not cropped off the tip of the flame, and if possible, brought all items further down the table to gain just the one 'grain' as the 'background/base', it would have made this a better photograph in my opinion. Also, I would like to have seen the bullets placed closer to the gun, maybe on the 'white'(?) gloves. Lastly, frames are always questionable in my opinion, but in this shot, perhaps a nice dark thickish frame might have set this off better. I think there is potential for a more 'dramatic' feel here that I would like to have seen somehow emphasized.

The flame cropped at the top is distracting.
