Wretched Excess

I knew this was you as soon as I saw it. It portrays exactly what you wanted it to. Your explanation deepens the meaning of the image to the point where it moves from a photographic image to a powerful conceptual piece of art.

i feel as if i am magically transported to the year 1958 ;) seriously, though, this does evoke an era, and i like the use of natural light coming in through the back door. the blurry kitty is a nice touch, too.

I love the muted colour and the lighting - it does have that lovely retro feel.

FInally! Someone who followed directions, used the year for the title and submitted a GOOD photo. You deserve a 10!

I like this shot! I would have just stepped to the right a foot take the wall light switch out of the picture (looks a little modern - and older plate may have made the difference).

I think this would have worked better without the cat. Very good take on the challenge and an excellent subject.

7 - Met the Challenge (I think a photo of this put into a 'time capsule' would give future generations a good depiction of this era/year). Criticism; Whilst I think you have a good 'setting', there are a few factors which 'detract' from the theme. The air vent, the 'flip flops' and possibly the carpet. If you had removed those or 'hid' them, it would have made this a better (read more authentic) photograph in my opinion. I like the added character of the cat, just would like to see it sitting still.

Well done shot! I really like the lighting and color tones. Good composition. The cat ads some life to the room.
