6 - Good effort to meet the Challenge (be it in the true time capsule sense or just a photo of this put into a time capsule). Criticism; whilst I do like the soft colors and the way they complement each other, in my opinion if you had perhaps added some more contrast, possibly even a softening (not sure) it would have made this a better photograph in my opinion. Perhaps also not so tight a crop, or just a different/sharper angle. You have some 'character' in this shot which I like, but again, would like to see that emphasized more, somehow. Looks pretty 'authentic' to your year to me, so well done.

6 - Good effort to meet the Challenge, especially in a true time capsule sense. Criticism; in my opinion this would be a more 'interesting' picture if you had composed it / arranged slightly differently. For me, nothing really 'stands out'. The coloring is good, but the blend of colors (in my opinion), just isn't 'bold' enough - not sure how to describe it, sorry. I think you captured the essence of 'youth' in this year well, just as I said, maybe a different angle, crop, layout, would have made this a better photograph in my opinion.

7 - Good effort to meet the Challenge (especially in a true time capsule sense). Criticism; I would like to see more contrast, especially in the 'blues'. A sharper focus on the coins perhaps, bringing out their detail, would have made this a better photograph in my opinion. I do like what seems to be a 'central' lighting effect - just perhaps a different layout, especially to show more detail on the magazine.

7 - Good effort to meet the Challenge (in my opinion a photo of this put into a time capsule would capture this era for future generations well). I like the b/w and the 'style'. Criticism; I think you have captured the essence quite well but for me, it just needs an extra 'something' - perhaps angle, rather than straight on. As far as true 'authenticity' goes, the shirt and jeans (while close) are not 'true' so maybe not as much detail on those, or just as I said a different angle, may have made this a better photograph in my opinion. It looks like you had fun though and definitely made an effort to meet the Challenge and for that I say well done. And extra points for finding a Coke bottle in that shape.

8 - Met the Challenge (I think a photo of this put into a 'time capsule' would give future generations a good depiction of this era/year - though it requires a tiny 'stretch' for me in the imagination for this Challenge). This is very well done. And you kept just the year in without any 'explanation' - good for you, it doesn't need it (though personally I'd like to see 30,000 BC or whatever is more 'authentic', perhaps what you have is right, who knows). Criticism; not much, I like the color treatment/effect, you've done very well with the 'props', the coloring/darkness washes out the costume so that it is not discernible enough to see the authenticity. The 'action' is perfect, and amusing. Perhaps without the frame - not sure, just to give a 'largeness'. The 'feel' you have created with the set up and the pp is very good in my opinion. You get the most points from me for creativity.

8 - Met the Challenge (I think a photo of this put into a 'time capsule' would give future generations a good depiction of this era/year, if that is the correct 'interpretation' of the Challenge). This is a great shot. Criticism; not much at all. I really like the steam you have captured, the characters, the texture/surface of the train - ok, maybe those power lines I just noticed should not be there in 1922 for 'true authenticity' - who knows. The lamp posts look good, the b/w or sepia? looks very good - perhaps just a slightly more front on angle to get more perspective on the train and platform, and get both those (but especially the 'left) shot of steam in the frame.

7 - Met the Challenge (I think a photo of this put into a 'time capsule' would give future generations a good depiction of this era/year, especially in an economic sense). It is a little 'stretch' in my opinion on the Challenge, but as I say you captured a certain essence of this particular era and well. Very nice photo too. Criticism; not much, perhaps more distinction on the lamp post if possible. I really like the angle and the b/w? works well here, keeping it a nice clean shot. Maybe even sharper of an angle to get in more of the post and fore building, and enable you to crop out that 'level' that has the line across it on the fore building. Possibly without the frame to give more 'height' - not sure.

7 - Met the Challenge (bit of a stretch in my opinion, but it is a 'mood' based one for me so a 'pass' in my books). Criticism; Whilst I like the 'bareness' and the focus on the 'twilight zone on tv', the grain of the 'floor' overpowers the setting in my opinion. For me, if you had a little rug or something it may have made this a better photograph, but seeing as that is a 'toy tv' (?) hard to find a rug that small. I like the shadow effect and I just think you have captured a little of the 'feel' of that time/era, even in the 'little set'.

7 - Met the Challenge (I think a photo of this put into a 'time capsule' would give future generations a good depiction of this era/year). I like the effects you have used here I think they are ideal for bringing out the textures and color here. Criticism; not too much, perhaps the red carnation? clashes a little, for 'pure authenticity' the waitress' hipsters detract a little in my opinion. Perhaps a slightly different angle or crop could have made this a better photograph, not sure, I think you have done well.

7 - Met the Challenge (I think a photo of this put into a 'time capsule' would give future generations a good depiction of this era/year). Criticism; Whilst I think you have a good 'setting', there are a few factors which 'detract' from the theme. The air vent, the 'flip flops' and possibly the carpet. If you had removed those or 'hid' them, it would have made this a better (read more authentic) photograph in my opinion. I like the added character of the cat, just would like to see it sitting still.
