The composition is good and even the selective colour works OK.
It's the blur processing that really bothers me. It is killing the picture.

Every time i look at this image, i cannot escape the feeling that the WB is a bit off.

I would say that this is a film SLR with the pentaprism box removed. You are looking directly at the focusing screen.

Nikon Lass

The lass is holding the camera the wrong way :-)

It's a nice candid portrait that would have been a better entry for the Street Photography in Black and White II than this challenge.

Too much processing for my taste. It looks more like an illustration or a drawing than a photo. The blown out highlights on the D50 badge is distracting, as well.

Interesting subject, but a bit soft.

Portrait of an Old Timer

I wanted to do an image like this with an TLR as a subject. I gave up after realizing that i cannot do anything even close to Gregory Heisler's self portrait done at GPP 2012 (//gulfphotoplus.com/limited/image/4/GPP-Self-Portrait-2012).

Snapshot

Nice subject(s) and processing resembles of a Polaroid shot.

Having said that, i would have:
- Cropped the distracting negative space from above. This would have the added bonus of making the image more-or-less Polaroid aspect ratio.
- Added a Polaroid style white border
- (maybe) Asked the model to tuck in her right (camera left) leg so it doesn't get chopped off.

Interesting choice of subject. Not being a camera per se is not why this image doesn't work for me. I actually think that it's quite an original idea and meets the challenge well. It's the combination of the exposure, the distorted base of the lamp and the processing.

Sorry :-(

Nicely seen with matching lighting and processing.
