Greetings from the Critique Club!
First, let me say that I am not a professional or even a very good amature photographer, so you may want to take my comments with a grain of salt.
I have mixed feelings about this. I would not have been able to recognize what this was had I not read your comments. I think it would have been much better if you had incorporated "Drive-In" into your title so that people would not have to struggle so hard with it.
Composition-wise I feel that this is decent but maybe could have benefited from a little context to show that the speakers are not the same size and location as the white screen. If I look at the pic from a bit of a distance that is what it seems like.
This being said, I really love the blurry/grainy/whatever effect that you have. It makes me feel like I am looking back in time - which of course adds to the old feeling.
I feel like this is a photo with a lot of potential. Like you had a great vision that you captured almost, but not exactly, perfectly, or you failed to include just the bit of context or focus that other viewers would need to see the scene as you saw it. I do love what you were trying to do here and I find your photo very pleasing to look at. |

| It took me awhile to figure out what this was.. the big black speaker looming in the foreground is very distracting because it is badly out of focus and yet takes up so much of the frame. I feel like I'm missing half the photo. |

| not sure what this is.. an old drive in movie? Took me a minute to figure out. The speaker in the front might look better in focus, with the screen slightly out behind them? |

| What exactly am I looking at? All I see is a noisy, poorly-focused, uninteresting image that bears little resemblance to anything that belongs in this challenge. |

| Took me several seconds to figure out what this is. I think it would be much more dramatic if the focus was on the speakers and not the screen. |

| what is the subject? what am I looking at? the noise level of the image is FAR too bad. the noise truly distracts from the photo. |
