yes. it's from 1924... it looks like a nice picture but is kind of boring too.

Comment by RedRuthann:
very interesting. I first rated this a 6 in my first run through. Now, as I take a closer look - there is much more technique here. I like the lighting/direction. I like the exposure - different, but good. This is a well executed photo - with thought and effort put into it. Great work 8

Comment by Kavey:
I don't think I get this. What is it? Also way too dark at left.

Neat patterns and shadows.

Comment by mjcecil:
The subject is very well selected. DOF may be a little shallow for it, however, as the soft edge on the pottery to the right makes the photo look washed out to a higher degree than it really is.

Comment by jmsetzler:
this is a good subject for this challenge... the lighting seems a little strange... going from extreme dark to extreme light may not be the best choice... I wonder how this image would look with the light a little more even on the subject? - jmsetzler

Intertesting lighting effect but maybe too dark on an unknown subject.

I can not ecactly understand what this is. The text is blurred too much. I'd focus on the text more and prefer to look obliquer. The top is wonderful, the low is terrible. Good work, anyway.

Comment by jimmsp:
Something old. Use your photographic technique to emphasize the age of your subject.
Composition - quite good
Technical Aspects - good. perhaps a little more even lighting
Meets Challenge - yes
Visual Impact / Originality - good

Comment by mcmurma:
it certainly looks old, but then i get no clear idea of what "it" is. showing more of the object, perhaps in relation to its usage, would have made it easier for thick-skulled reviewers like myself to figure it out. the lighting is dramatic and i like that, but you have lost some detail to highlights on the right, and shadows on the left. the green triangle upper right is a puzzle as well. ~mcmurma
