I guess this is a cultural reference that doesn't really ring bells with me - is it a hope chest or hope drawer type thing? I like the arrangement of the still life within the case but the image itself lacks punch - the interest is in the still life not in the image itself. I don't think the vivid flooring works well with the muted colours of the aged items in the case.

I bumped you up 1 point for the photo. Is this a hope chest? I have never seen one maybe that is a bloke thing! I'm going to presume it is and bump you up again. Maybe a better title would have pointed it out to us who don't know.

I was very moved by this image. Great job. The soft sepia is absolutely perfect.

what's to hope - that it will last ? theme is more nostalgia than hope

A wonderful image, but for me, this represents not so much "hope", as nostalgia. Had to dock for that, but a 6 for composition
