Very nice intrepretation on the challenge. Very personal and intimate. Your idea is conveyed very well. Good lighting and focus. Good job.

Comment by macrothing:
6 - Good effort to meet the Challenge, especially in a true time capsule sense. Criticism; in my opinion this would be a more 'interesting' picture if you had composed it / arranged slightly differently. For me, nothing really 'stands out'. The coloring is good, but the blend of colors (in my opinion), just isn't 'bold' enough - not sure how to describe it, sorry. I think you captured the essence of 'youth' in this year well, just as I said, maybe a different angle, crop, layout, would have made this a better photograph in my opinion.

IMHO you have too many ellements in the shot making it look a little cluttered. I think just the two figures on the stairs and one other thing would make this a more potent entrie...

My choice for the ribbon - excellent shot! The items chosen tell the story completely and invoke the era instantly.

Great illusion here, and wonderful use of shadows...Only problem is, the shadows of some of items on the stairs make it easily noticable that there really are no stairs, it's just paper cut out to look like stairs...6

Comment by SJCarter:
I remember this shot well from the Affluence Challenge. I thought it was very clever and a strong emotive statement. The result though wasn't as impactful as it could have been. Not sure if it was the crop or the clutter in the foreground or the fact that the farm isn't quite as visible as it might be. Regardless, I did (& do) think it was a good entry.
