 I know I'm likely to get caned for this entry but I just really like it and it was a capture on my wedding anniversary trip. It seemed to scream out to me for this challenge as the old man was obviously struggling with his phone he must have put it to his ear about 30 times and was getting very frustrated. But as we were sitting on a narrow gauge train which was waiting to depart I couldn't offer him any help which was frustrating to me as well.

Hoping it won't bomb completely but to be honest I'm trying to shoot more for me and what I enjoy so the scores are secondary to that :)

This is a great shot that should've finished higher. Very nice job with the black-and-white process.

A fine illustration of our fast changing digital world.

Everyone has a cell phone these days. I like the processing here - could use a little more light on his face. Not so sure about the background - all those announcement sheets are very distracting but I think they are supposed to be part of the story here? Good score from me. Voted earlier.

Hmm... What an interesting image. Why is a fellow that old wearing a tie? Why does he have a smart phone? Is he still working? Is he just hip? what's the story? I love it! Looks like some sort of national or state park.
