Hey, what can I say? Personally, I like the shot. I agree that its dark, and I'd be happier if I could have had more time to work on it. Here is the deal. The synth was made in 1981, and I didn't want some nit picky, anal retentive DP user to get all up in arms over the synth used in the shot. The concept of analog synthesizer is very 70's, and I thought I submitted a good idea, regardless of the make and model of the synth used. That is why its dark, so people don't see that its a Korg Trident. And, by the way, to the people that did vote a 10, I appreciate your kindness, and thank you.

This is a nice shot. I love how everything almost looks as if it is the same color but just in different shades. I also like how you can see the detail in the game pieces. I also really like the reflection seen in this image. Nice work.

Clever reminder that life was not always digital. Imaginative lighting, but still a bit dark.

Very Dark, a little too much so and could use a main point of focus

Nicely cropped. I would have liked it a little bit lighter.

My bridge photo is just north of the "Trenton Makes" Bridge. If anyone else is curious about the "Trenton Makes The World Takes Bridge", I posted a night shot of it in my profile.
