Would be better if focused more sharply. An eye with a few wrinkles around it would say "old."

Depth of field needs improvement in this and maybe a little lighter and more contrast. Meets the challenge just fine though.

I like this...I have a thing for rotting wood. Dunno why...but I photograph it a lot myself.. I also like the diagonal line of the old bench.

Very nice, uncluttered image. Meets the challenge obviously, and good choice for b & w.

The Forgotten 8mm

Nice use of curves. I especially like the way you included both reels in the composition. They complement each other through repitition of the curves. I love the way the boxy part up front contrasts with the reels and in between are some details of the "other parts." The contrast of textures is good and the coloring works well here. The dark background is good too. I'm looking for something to NOT like here....um......I can't! Oh wait! A tiny dof issue in the center of the upper reel...hmmmmmm. Oh so what! Still a great photo. Congratulations!

Fits the challenge, but I think a different angle could have given it more visual appeal.

Meets the challenge but is not crystal clear, which is important if you want to read the document. Artistically it lacks since it is a document.

This appeals to me. I used to collect vintage hats...and gloves, and dresses, and purses...lol You name it I collected it. Now I have limited it to purses and sold the rest on ebay. I like the composition and the lighting. If I had to pick something I didn't like, I'd ditch the white tissue paper in the upper left corner that sort of draws my eye to it. I like the curves of the box, lid, and hats. The window sill detracts a bit, and the clutter between the box and lid on the bottom, near the center also is a distraction. Those few complaints keep it from being perfect. All in all I like it.
