I love the textures of the wood and grass. And I love the shape of the wheel. There is a kind of emptiness to the photo which causes it to grow uninteresting fairly quickly.

I notice that the grass is mowed in a direction parallel to the wooden bench.

Wow. The composition is super and so are the other technical details (mostly.) I even like the frame. Very nice.

Not sure what the editing rules were for the challenge, but I do wish those lines in the background were gone - the paucity of detail in the subject tempts the eye to wonder off to malinger on those insignificant details.

1900 an entire century

It's a nice choice of subject - great pose. Not clear why so much negative space above the subject's head - especially the shiny white water that distracts us from the subject. I'd have liked to see just a bit more highlight in the subject's face.

Nice subject, nice perspective, nice choice to present in sepia.
Quibbles: There is more fuzziness in parts of the car than one would expect from such a short lens; and while this level of sharpness might be the perfect thing in other formums or media, the photo is, IMO, unsharp by the conventions of this site.

1930, When smoking improved your health

The subject is quite photogenic and it produces a very strong sense of place. Nice colors. There is an attempt to square everything with the frame which is only partially effective. And even if it had been successful, I wonder if there had not been some more interesting or dynamic treatment of the building.

The assemblage of items is strongly evocative of the era. There is something about the white light that seems a little harsh and inappropriate for a 'vintage' feel. The white book manages to steal the show because of its light color interacts with the lighting. This is unfortunate because I am much more interested in the typewriter, the model spacecraft, the gyroscope the radio and the photo.

time capsule for 2005

Comment:
Not clear about what makes this distinctively 2005. For instance, those Keds, long hair, and bell bottoms would fit late seventies also. The placement of the subject seems a little haphazard, I think there might have been post processing treatments that would have transformed the looming ductwork and the brickwork into something more interesting.

Quite lovely, and quite funny. The left 10- 20% of the photo strikes me as being unuseful - I'd have been inclined to crop out the light colored fence or wall.
