HEE HEE. The light is a tad brash, but I like the idea and it certainly suites the challenge. Black and white might work here.

This would be a great advertisement shot. The red in the background helps the picture quite a bit. However I am not sure about the jewelry in the near shoe. I can understand the desire to break up the long expanse of black in the front, but I think the jewelry might be too detailed, maybe a simple chain would have been better?

I like this composition, your attention to detail, the splash of red, the jewelllery...... It all looks very "stock photo", but very nicely done, indeed! 8

Very nice. I like the splash of color, and soft textured background. Bracelet was a nice addition.

5 - Met the Challenge with the 'feel' of the era (a shot of this in a time capsule would depict it for future generations). I just wish you had left it at '1920' (be a 7 if you did from me). Criticism; I like the angle, but would like it even 'sharper', get more of a depth of field, depending of course what is there 'right of screen'. Whilst this shot is fairly 'clean', given the Challenge and trying to capture the 'feel' of the era, I would like to have seen a few more 'era' specific items - a horse would be great or a man leaning on the post smoking a cigar or pipe (where are they when you need them). Good shot and 'depiction'. The building/billboard at the end of the building on the right is a touch distracting but minor. The color is good, maybe just a tad more contrast/drama, may have made this a better photograph in my opinion. edit: typos
