Comment by Arcanist:
I don't find myself challenged at all to see a link to the technology. We carry cels and pagers around everyday, even land phones for communication. This is an excellent example of low tech communication. The subjects are well framed and balance each other in height because of a good selection of shooting angle. The disrepair of the home adds an element to the age of the bell, but the bell itself seems a bit over de-noised. Like it has weathered time much more successfully than the home. This seems a bit out of place. Nice shot overall, not a glamour shot, but definitely fitting the challenge and well executed.

Beautiful shot and EXCELLENT title! I like the colors - interestingly, I don't even think this would be as good in BW. I think you nailed my top pick so far. Great job.

Good title, original idea. The overall shot might have benefited from a tighter crop as the focal point appears to be the house rather than the bell.

Nice shot, but I'm wishing we could see the heads of all 7 gooses. Or is it geeses?

Looks like one of them got board and seem to be hitting the road ;-) Good shot, I think I would have used a better depth of field to leave all your 7 subjects in focus instead of just focusing on the main front subject.

5 and 2 halves technically. lol I think it's funny that the 1/2 goose on the lower left is cut off at about the same place as the 1/2 goose in the upper right. I think that my biggest problem here is that there aren't 7 full geese. Not even 7 heads or 7 butts. I wish that the goose in the upper right's head wasn't chopped off. That bugs me a bit. Otherwise though, its a nice shot. I like the DOF and I like the angle at which you took the photo as well. ~Heather~

A very nice authentic litle landmark. I would have cropped tighter on the right right to about 25 percent of the pole to avoid the electric line and the branch as ir detracts. otherwise a very nice shot. Of course, a real close up of the bell would have made it a stronger contender in my opinion. 6
