I'm sure I won't be the only one to dislike the red background. For me it is totally unnecessary and ruins an otherwise decent shot.

The shadows under the cameras are distracting adn it is very similar to many other entries.

Great lighting and composition. Like the condensation on the can and shows more imagination than most of the entries I've seen so far.

Would liked to have a totally black background to give it more punch.

One of the better buildings shots in this challenge. Strong composition (although I would like to see a tighter crop on the right to get rid of the sky there) and the light is good.

Difficult to get a good exposure with the reflective glass vs. the old stone but you managed it.

Nice idea, but the lighting lets this down. Shadows are very distracting.

Not sure where the old & new juxtaposition is here.

Foreground a little dark and the cloud on the left is distracting.

The Long and Short of It....

I like the idea but for me the DOF is just a bit too shallow which is distracting. Not keen on the shadows under the pencils either and looks a bit oversharpened (the image not the pencils - no pun intended).

Nice to see something other than the obvious cameras, phones, buildings, flowers & rolls of film vs. memory cards though.

I would have preferred more DOF with everything sharp. Very similar to a number of other entries which might make it suffer a little.

I think this might suffer as it is so similar to so many other entries.

I would have liked a different angle so the top of the old tower is more clearly defined against the sky rather than lost against the new tower.

I like the title.

Where's the old & new?

Looks out of focus.

Not sure this fits the theme.

Looks a bit dark on my monitor and the tree in the foreground is distracting.
