I liked this shot and don't know why it didn't score higher. I like the close up, the idea and the simplicity of the composition. You did a good job on this one.

So many people missed the point here - eventually the net will make everything snail mail obsolete, I'm sure there are millions of people that no longer write letters to post, and instead use email.

A great photo, and a great idea - unfortunately wasted one some I guess.

The DOF works fine for me, focused on the price (which is also part of the obsolete theme - mail on the net is basically free to send).

I like your style Sticky :-)

Snail mail is obsolete and only used by those unwilling to move with the times, or slow to move with the times.

The last time I posted something? hmmm about 10 minutes ago, I hit SEND! ;-)

Well lit. But IMHO DOF is poor. Also this does not meet the challenge, postage stamps are not obsolete.

Color in image is its strongest point and you used it to your advantage. As a macro you did a very good job of clearing up any possible grain which often occurs in that format. The depth of field seemed to shallow in the image, though.

Good editorial, we often forget how vital this once was, and email did make it obsolete
