Congratulations JóhannesFrank! This photo really has all the qualities of an image produced from the first cameras, well done and congratulations with the 5th place..
7 - Good effort to capture the era/year/feel for the Challenge (in my opinion, a shot of this put in a time capsule for this year gives a good depiction). Criticism; whilst I do really like this shot and the feel, I'll state the obvious and go against what you are obviously trying to achieve - for me, it is too dark. Especially on the pump, if that just had a touch more 'detail', it would make it a better photograph in my opinion. It is a fine shot though and the setting is good - even getting more detail on the house(?) or church(?) would lift it more for me, but I think I get your intent, and it still 'fits the Challenge' just a 'creative' take, so well done. Ok, from 6 -> 7.
OMG, i love this photo~! i really love it~! the whole atmosphere is amazing~! WOW, simply amazing would be he understated version of what i think~! very nice job~! WOW~~~!
Thats a great pump and I like the light reflecting off the right side, but the building in background (blurred edges) may cost you some points. Good luck!
