Comment by FranziskaLang:
you definitely met the challenge, and you've used the selective DOF quite well, but - to me - the picture has very little appeal, sorry. also, i guess i don't quite get the title. the modernization probably relates to the heavy machinery and the pile of rubble. if you mean modernization from using old-fashioned pens, there's no link to what we are moving to. -- gr8photos (3)

I'm sorry, it doesn't appeal to me. Nice clean shot though.

Lighting is good on this shot. It seems to be a bit out of focus though.

Comment by Kavey:
This is an interesting idea and the light on the pencil and rubble is good. I like the green colour and light reflected there but the tractor thing seems too much in shadow. I think though this is interesting idea, the photo doesn't grab me visually.

is it really the end of the world? or perhaps a firework. not too frightening (although my dog would disagree).
