Ancient House, Modern Safety

A very beautiful picture, but the anachronistic nature of the shot just doesn't jump out at me.

Victorian VS Modern

The PP makes this a really "flat" photo. Nothing stands out and it becomes hard to distinguish between the elements involved. Effect reminds me (not unpleasantly) of some types of 60s/70s pop art, but it doesn't work for me here.

May I Take A Message?

Cool idea. It's not entirely obvious that the person is using a quill, however. Although the names on the phone also put the point across.

Pretty much all seem to be in the same category to me. ;)

Dry Goods - Phone Home

Comment:
Good idea, and technically this is a very well done photo. However, I wish that the phone had been more prominent somehow. Had to search for a second before I caught it. Perhaps a couple of retail boxes of phones or other electronics would have made the point more clearly and obviously. - 6

I had the same sort of an idea for my shot, but this is executed much better than mine. Very nice! - 8

Cool shot. I wish the guy was a little more seprated from the background. His arm and the hill behind sort of blend together. Moving him a little right (or the camera a little left), might have solved this.

1939 Tea Pot

Comment:
The pot is certainly out of time to the present, but it isn't apparent that it is out of time to any of the other elements in the environment of the shot. As to the picture, I wish there had been a little deeper DOF to keep the cups in focus, the lighting on the pot is too harsh, and (while they may have been intentional) the reflections on the background above and behind the pot don't work for me.

circa 1583

Couple of things that aren't working for me in this shot: First, the composition seems really off and out of balance. The statue and building elements in the right and lower right are really heavy and the negative space in the upper left doesn't offset them. If you could have managed an angle that would have placed the tower further to the left of the frame, that might have helped. Second, it looks as if you have either desaturated the statue or it is being lit differently from the background buildings. This gives the effect of the statue not being a true part of the composition, but rather something that was cut and paste in. (Note, I'm not saying that you did PS the statue in, just that the color and light on the statue give that impression.) This detracts from the impressiveness of the angles used to achieve this natural composition. One other thing, while the subjects do seem out of time to the present, I don't know that they are readily out of time to each other. Seems like there is a lot of potential here, but the execution needs work.
