| Very authentic picture. I like how the lighting is focus in on the lady and really hi-lights here. Even if this is a still photo the spinning wheel really make it seem dynamic. You can almost feel her spinning the yarn. |

| This era is a little before my time so I dont have too many nostalgic feelings coming from the image, but I'm sure some people do. At first it seemed a little dark, but other than the woman the rest of the room is just background and so it's good that it's a little darker so as not to distract. I really like the fact that she is lit by the light coming from the window, it helps support the feeling of age. I'm also glad you decided to keep it in color instead of black and white or sepia. In a way it's a shame the table is there, it distracts a little and I think the angle of that coupled with the angle of the door frame makes the image look a little tilted. However, I understand you can only work with what you have, and what you have makes a good photograph. |

| The harsh lighting from the window on the left has blown out the book or whatever on the table and the lower left total darkness makes me wonder what I\'m missing there -- the only problems I see with this photo. Perfect shutter speed to show the wheel in motion but yet let us see there are definite spokes there. I give it a 9! |

Sheer delight, exquisite.
I love the motion blur in the spinning wheel.
The wonderful workflow circle (spinner via attention > hands > yarn etc. all the way over the big wheel and back) within the image effectively returns the attention from the detail and artifacts, the photographer has chosen to include, to a central subject.
The varying light in this scene appears to have been tamed with difficulty, but without creating any critical distraction(s). A very fine balance, IMO, has been struck between the technical (and compositional) demands and the lyric essence of the given (found?) subject(s).
As if Vermeer had taken up photography. ;-) |

| Nicely composed shot. If the background were a little lighter I'd given it a 10, still, 9 isn't bad. |

what I really like about this pic besides the perfect
technical execution, is that you almost can imagine
how life must have been in this age.
Really beautiful submission for the nostalgia theme :) 10 |

| Do me think to Flemish painter Vermeer. Nice setup. Just some overburning on the table. |

| nice light on the spinner and the wheel...good challenge response..a little dependent on the title but the nostalgic feel is there definitely has the feel of an oil painting |

| Great shot, only complaint from me would be the 'too bright' spots on the table. |

| Nice shot. You caught the spinner's motion nicely. Looks a little too tightly cropped at left. Very nice lighting! |
