Greetings from the critique club!

This was one of my favorites in the challenge. I like the mood you captured in the shot and old feeling/style which really works well with the subject. The glow is alright in my books and the lighting, while bright does give it a "glamour" look in my opinion.

The border, however, is a little thick and detracts from the image. The main purpose of a border is to signal the viewer that the image is done and not to keep looking outside the frame. With that in mind, I'd say that a border wasn't necessary. Also, you are limited with the image size. The big border you used took a significant portion of what you had to work with away from you. Generally speaking, the bigger the image, the easier it is for the viewer to appreciate.

Beautiful use of soft focus -- looks like a vintage glamour shot. Fits the subject perfectly. A high vote from me.

The lighting has changed the aspect of this camera. There is so much reflection that it looks like a modern machine instead of an antique. Now, that being said, at least you attempted something different than the traditional b&w or sepia...so kudos there.

Like the over all feel of the image, but would have preferred it if the camera wasn't upside down.
