I like this photo, unique subject matter, clearly meets the challenge, and the lighting is well done to illuminate the subject clearly. Well done.

Very sharp, very clear picture of a acoustic coupler (does it still work?) has been a long time since I've seen one...

Wow, I haven't seen one of these in forever. That said, not very intesting composition. Sorry.

I've never seen such a machine and it looks fairly ancient (like I do). However, it's not a very interesting photo.

NIcely done. I din't know anybody still had one of these--or even a phone that would fit in one.
