What bothers me the most in this shot is that the image is tilted. It bothers me a lot. That and the totally overexposed top (or is it back) part of the salad - the unsung hero of this shot.

The background is the one thing i spent most of the time. I have shot other versions with different backgrounds.

Shame for the DQ, it's a lovely shot. The perspective, the selective color, the DoF, the blacks, the reflections...
Keep entering challenges, but please do read the rules thoroughly. They are enforced vigorously.

Nice juxtaposition. Old vs. new.

I started my photography journey with a ZENIT E. Silver one, also with a selenium based light meter.

I'll never get talked into this again!!

I love the story and the idea. Maybe some film grain and/or a slight vignette would have emphasized it. The shadows behind the ladies talking to each other are really disturbing, though. There are also some clipped highlights on the guy's shirt. On camera flash?

The Dancer

Technically, the photo lacks a bit more saturation in the colors, to make them pop a bit more and some more exposure, especially in the top right corner. The other aspects of the shot (composition, the moment, the focus, the expression of the dancer...) are excellent. I guess that it was difficult lighting setup. Low light, high shutter speed, high ISO...

There is an implied dance here. Nice.
