 this is an old calculator (1956) of my father in law, no longer works, but it is a beautiful reminder of the times without personal computers... (a bit of nostalgia, my father in law is dead too young)

Hi from the Critique Club

My first impression is that the shot is that it is busy and I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking at.

Composition is not great as there are two major elements fighting for our attention.

Lighting, as observed by your one comment in voting, could be more flattering.

For DPC the trick is not to just get a shot the meets the challenge but also to make it interesting so that we stay and look a while. You've managed this in some of your other challenge entries, but not in this one :(

Nice antique. I would have lit it from the top to avoid the shadows. I like the zero keys. Keep up the good work and be patient, the ribbons will come with experience. :)
