What??? 113 out of 262? I was sure this would be in the top ten... Anyway, one of my favorites in the challenge anyways. Keep up the good work.

...then it's probably a wrong lumber. (ouch) Interesting idea. A less-cluttered background would have been nice.

I have to be honest, I think the photo could use a bit of work, mostly in the background area DOF. But your title and image slammed me into a fit of laughter. I'm still chuckling as I score this. Thanks much for this. It was just what I needed after voting on this challenge for awhile.

OK - You win in the best humor category. (thank god you didn't use a cell phone!)
On a serious note, I'd rather see the phone sitting on something more organic.

... does the bear answer? Now that's the question! No, really I like the reflection off the old phone in this picture and like how the DOF is just right. In focus enough not to take away from your main display, yet still in focus enough to know what you are looking at. Great Job!

Nice picture. Very appealing reflections on the phone.

Ok, why is the antique telephone out in the woods? As is, I think the picture is too busy and too centered.

Probably the best title in this competition. I love the idea, good shot. The table looks a bit out of place too though, I think it would have been cool if you had placed the phone on the forest floor instead of on a table. I gave it a 9.

Perhaps using a different colored phone so that it doesn't blend in with the brush behind would have given this photo more impact

I like the idea a lot, though the background is very busy. Maybe using a shallow depth of field would give better focus to your message?

interesting idea, but i feel it should have been a tighter shot of the phone i think there is too much woods. A simple crop would do wonders for this shot.
