I LOVE this picture! Usually I do not favor over-unsharp-masked (forgive me if I'm wrong) pictures, this works very well stylisticly. And the compositions is WONDERFUL. The only thing, as has been pointed out, is the lack of an obvious correlation to the 70s. Keep up the good work.

Bold in style but subdued in color - very nice! Good creativity.

I like the tones and surfaces in this image. I feel it is a little oversharpened, but this probably helps with to separate the tonal zones. - I do strugle a little on the 70's association.

A like the idea, but the photo seems a bit too..grainy/out of focus

this oddly does feel a bit 70's, though i don't know why. The big over-sharpened grain? Nice composition!

Just not my style and really don't get the 70's connection. Sorry, wish you well.

Perhaps oversharpened but the composition is eye-grabbing and, consequently, earned a favorable rating from me. Did I miss something? How does this relate to the 70's?

Unique vantage point. Like it. Like the color, too.

Nice picture. Don't know how it relates to the 70s, but good composition.

While I thiink I've missed the 'message' of the photo, I rated it very favorably based on its technical and compositional qualities. Nice.

This may have been a great shot without the cartooning effects.

I like this a lot. It is hurt by oversharpening, IMO, but I understand the metaphor and i commend you for entering this much-less-than-obvious take on the challenge. 8

I have no way of knowing if this is 1970s or 1870s, nothing of the 70s reminds me of this shot except a large hail storm that took zapped our roof.

A path not much travelled in this competition. I love the way the colors and textures of the roof, chimney, and walls play off each other. I love the rhythm created by all the repeated elements. The photo communicates age and speaks of an unadorned and utilitarian time.

not sure how this fits the theme

Sorry, I just can't relate this picture to the 70's (even the title does not help)
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Like the grain and colours. Not sure what this has to do with the 70's?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/23/2005 03:21:16 PM
Looks a over sharpened. I didn't live on the 70's, so I can't see the connection, cz it is not that obvious, at least to me!

contrast seems a little high
  Photographer found comment helpful.

One of the few shots that captures the bleakness of the 70s. I tend to think that colour was only invented in 1980 but maybe that's just poor memory. Good work

I'm giving you a 10 for not photographing a record album. Also.. for your use of yellows and browns. Nobody get's it when i explain that the 70's, as pictured in my brain, are yellow and brown. Pukish green too, but whatever.

I think this is a great photo. I don't know what the Rust Zone means or how this coorelates to the 70s. But I'm not going to vote you down simply because I may not know all my 70s trivia. I was only five when they were over. So I'm giving this a good benefit-of-the-doubt score.
