Well done! Now that's OLD WAYS. Great composition, tones, and creativity.

Great shot! Not only does this show old ways but it evokes emotion around connecting with the soldier. Composition is well laid out to draw the eye to the soldier, along with showing the action of writing the letter. The stamps and key give it a timeless or historical feel. Black and white make it timeless. Desk is a nice dark back drop that looks very "real" to the situation. One of the reasons I like this is because it looks like you captured something real in action, not just a pure setup for this challenge as so many others have done (including myself). The more I look the more I love it! The one thing that might have added is if it were lit by candle light. That would enhance the timeless feel and give it softer light.

I like the sepia tone to this, the only thing bugging me is that the person here is writing a letter to Jayne, but is looking at a photo of a man? It may be that he's sending the photo, but as-is it is odd. Still a high score on my end.

Perfect execution for a great idea. One of the best entries i've seen so far (seen about 30), voting 9.

Gorgeous toning that really makes this shot. Everything feels 'wartime' about this shot (as you no doubt intended) with great cues everywhere, from the key, to the stamps, to the photo and even to the handwriting. Technically the DoF, lighting, composition and tones are all perfect for the shot imho. Excellent work.

Fabulous, love the attention to details that you have got here, the stamps, key, even the handwriting. The only thing that botheres me is that he is writing to Joyce and it is clearly a man, so why the picture of the man? 10

The front edge is about a 1/2 stop over exposed IMO.
