Challenge: Nostalgia (Classic Editing)
Camera: Sony DSC-F707
Location: Woking, Surrey - UK
Date: Sep 7, 2003
Aperture: 4.5
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/160
Galleries: Emotive, Nature
Date Uploaded: Sep 7, 2003

 No editing, no cropping.
Effect and color saturation achieved by putting my Gucci's sunglasses in front of the camera lenses while sitting on the edge of the pond.
Hope to do not get critics for being off topic... it captures the end of the day and, possibly, the end of a season..
I was inspired by The Oxford Talking Dictionary: "Nostalgia: Regret or sentimental longing for the conditions of a period of the (usu. recent) past".

This is a BEAUTIFUL image, but I don't get the connection to nastalgia. Maybe a different category would suit this image much better.

Interesting idea. I have heard of using sunglasses over the lense but I thought you would crop inside it ... but this adds to the photo for this challenge.

Good capture, good use of sunglasses.

Like your use of sunglasses. It adds something of a mood to the sunset. Though I think it would have looked nice by itself as well. Perhaps your protecting the lens?

cool idea using the sunglasses, but i think you should've either put them closer to the lense, or cropped the picture. the fuzzy frame of the glasses distracts from the overall quality of the sunset, IMO.

Through the sunglasses, don't think I've seen that one before.
