 I tried to find a phone booth for this challenge. Couldn't find one in the entire town! I guess these things are "going away" and being replaced by cell phones. (I can remember when it cost a dime!)Used digital flash and added some noise in PS.

Perhaps you should have tried a sepia tone to go with the ribbon you're seeking? :-)

Removing the phone entirely from context makes it look like an ad picture....it doesn't seem to say much more to me than "this is a phone." The low contrast and grainy appearance don't create mood or tell me more about the subject. Sorry. Just the way I see it.

Picture seems a bit "snowy" but not bad.

I like the idea and the graininess of the picture, even the very soft focus.

Nice use of grain and low contrast! Well done.

Probably not a bad shot, but the colour noise is too much for me to look past, sorry.

I like this photo, the grainyness really makes it for me.
