Wise Old Owl

yes, may be an old owl...but I don't feel it really meets the Challenge. And I wish you had more of Mr Hoot's tailfeathers. Nice focus, lighting and color! (5)

My Mom had one similar to this.

Nice photo. All the ingrdients are there...focus, lighting and whatnot, but I think all in all...it is just a bit too busy in the background for my taste. Good job however! (6)

Long Before Megapixels

Beautiful shot, but I think it would have been better if you had pulled back a little, came at it from higher up and got more of the whole camera in. The old bellows cameras were beautiful even long after they went out of style! (7)

A Lost Art

Comment:
Not necessarily a lost art, but definitely misplaced. The problem i have with digital is that I am always trying to think in 35mm and convert to digital...and lose the war almost every time.

I didn't like the "auto" cameras for myself. I had/have the Pentax K1000, the KX, MX and the 6x4 LX. To me, Pentax cannot be beat in the film cameras. Haven't experienced one in the Pentax Digitals yet.

I did buy my ex-wife the ME Super like this one and she is still using it today, almost 30 years later. Her pictures aren't as nice as this one however! (8)

I would have liked this better if you had NOT cropped out the bottom pen, and maybe if the pens wer upright in their holders...at least the one that I am sure of should have been. I cannot see enough detail on the bottom and right to tell if they actually stand upright or not.

Nice idea! (6)

A Portrait of Well Used Shoes

I like this shot, but I think it might have been better if the shoes were to fill the frame...crop off the empty space on the right (his left). Other than that...good job!

This was my favorite of the Challenge. My only 10, I had no doubt that it would ribbon!

Congrats, Bear! A simply stunning photograph!!!

Maybe the powers that be should change it to a 4 ribbon thing so that 3 OTHER people can ribbon once in a while! LOL!!!

Way to go, Judi!
