Way to go Jinjit.. I had given this one an 8. This was one of my fav's. I'm happy to see this great image was yours and thet it did good in the challenge. As for a ctitique.. well I would like to have seen a little more of the second snail. A little deeper DOF would have worked better for me. Great color, very crisp, wonderfull composition and fit the challenge perfectly nice job.

Not bad from what I can tell but images tend to have more impact if you use the maximum dimentions when posting..

Greetings From The Critique Club!!

Initial impact: Very unusual.. Definately outside the box!!

Meeting the challenge: Yes this fits the challenge very well. The typewritter was definately the beginning of an era. I love the one that you used for this particular challenge very old and rustic great find and idea.

Color: Well I bet you figured we couldn't hassle you any for color on this one... but alas here I am. I think that black and white worked bery well for this shot. it adds to the asthetic age of the photo. I'm not sure on this one but I think that sepia would have looked a little better. This also would have kept the old feeling you were trying to emulate.

Focus: The image is very grainy most noticably in the high detail areas. This is not a bad thing in this photograph. I just don't think it was done quite right. I think a more uniform grainlook would have given it more of an authintic grain. As is it looks like it was just a poor shot or bad file compression. (wich may be the case). I can't say for sure the grain was even necessary. While it adds a feeling to the photo DPC voter tend to hammer any one who shows any sign of it.

Lighting: The lighting is good but I think you probably could have gone a little further with it. I think some dramatic lighting would have helped your score a bit. Perhaps a spotlight from above in a dark room or somthing of the type.

Overall: I feel that two things hurt your score in the end. 1: the grain and 2: Lack of flash. While technicaly sound the photo does not posses much of a wow factor. No fancy mood lighting, no insane details, no dramitc shadows. It is textbook work. Simple straight to the point but devoid of emotional empact. I gave it a 7 while voting. I felt that it fit the challenge, was technicaly sound (I assumed the grain as intentional). It was one of my higher votes, but not quite 9 or 10 quality forme. Overall a pretty good image. Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing what you come up with next.

wonderfull shot.. I just feel your T is a little too subtle for this challenge. I little more light on it would help. Nice job
