6 - Met the Challenge (a photo of this in a time capsule depicts the era for future generations). Criticism; whilst I like the 'unusual' view of color for this type of 'era' (though I assume it is a current day activity you have captured), given the title, I think the old b/w or sepia would give it more drama and 'era feel' too. The look on the lady's face seems very natural and 'unstaged'. The colors are 'mellow' and you have captured the textures quite well. Perhaps a wider view (incorporating the surrounding 'era' items) may have made this a better photograph in my opinion, not sure. Perhaps, a slightly more side on angle, not sure. For me, it does look like 'stepping back in time into this setting', so in my opinion, you've done what you were challenged to do. Ok up to 6 from 5.

A nice fit into this challgne. This photo certainly depicts a different way of life and a different time. Technically, The bonnet is a little over-exposed and the shadow on the lady's face is a bit distracting. Maybe waiting to see if she turned her head into the light would have given more even light on her face and cut down the exposure on the bonnet.

Very interesting woman. Two things...the crop is a little tight at the top. Also, she should have turned her head the other way toward the light. Her cap is shadowing her face.

Hmm, I find the cropping a bit strange.
