Here are a few additional comments on this challenge entry. Feel free to PM me with any questions.
First: As the comment i left to you during voting, gave you a 7, mostly for thinking out of the normal "chrome". Seems as if the voters placed you right at '5'.
Technically, this is a nicely composed picture with good sharpness and clarity. your post-challenge notes indicate you put some thought into the DOF. I for one did not catch the intentional emphasis "64", and "koda". I wonder if placing the emphasis on "chrome" might have upped the score????
The main downfall of this pic IMHO, is the subject. Many voters may not have a clue about Kodachrome 64(i'm only casually aware of it myself:)) It is not a picture that will connect effectively with most voters.
The good news is that if you continue to think creatively, pair that with your technical skills, you will be rewarded both in fun and scores.
Keep shooting,

BTW I like your fan blade entry in your portfolio.
Post Voting: Thanks for all the votes and positive remarks. The image did better than I expected.
Some Explanations: First a lot of credit goes to my wife. It was her idea - I was thinking of other ways to express chrome and she came up with this idea. As for color - I intentionally kept the colors in the red/yellow ranges to express the way that a Kodochrome would look. As for focus - I kept the "koda" part in focus to hi-light that and the "64" instead of the "chrome" which was the focus of the challange.
Thanks again for all the comments - It truly is a missed friend. I'd use it still if Digital hadn't caught up with film in clarity.
Nice nostalgia! More DOF would be better in my opinion, and consider brighter levels and more saturation for color pop, probably better than subtlety for this subject.
