I think this is perfect and can't believe all the low scores you got. I was not able to vote this challenge but you would have gotten at least a 9 from me. Humor, motion blur, B&W, good lighting, well focused and composed, what more could anyone ask for?! The fact that this got a 4.6 shows me to take all scores here with a grain of salt. Please continue, damn the voters!

Clever idea to make it look as though the image itself was taken in 1955. I imagine a few folks will be decrying that the content is meant to represent the year not the look of the finish but I kind of like it. On the other hand, content wise it's the kind of image that is just a family album snapshot - someone's new car etc. If it were real I might possibly have vague interest as historical record but in 2005? I just can't find any appeal in the contents OUTSIDE of the fact that it meets the challenge, if that makes sense. What I mean is that if I were giving 5/5 for meeting challenge and 5/5 for appealing to me in it's own right, I'd give 5 and 1. Goodness but I'm rambling away a la Kavey. I'll stop now. :o)

A bit too grainy perhaps. However, it really does look like the 50's (I was there!).

The fact that they had to validate this photo speaks pretty highly of it. Great job!

5 - This feels 'real' to me and meets the Challenge in my opinion (this shot printed and put into a time capsule depicts the era for future generations). Criticism; I like the effort you have seemingly made to get the aged effect, but in my opinion there is alittle too much grain, or 'something'. I like the angle, but would like to see the car driving a little closer. Not sure about the frame. To really nitpick, maybe the road sign needs cropping out, not sure. I like the 'feel' mainly though in this shot, just wish it were not quite so grainy.
