Excellent composition and nicely staged I would have liked just a bit more light on the headphones. Nicely done.

It's amazing to think that the Walkman is already obsolete, but you are right. Nice picture.

Obsolescence comes REAL quickly, doesn't it?

Good subject and decent composition. Too bad the focus wasn't stronger.

The lighting is a bit harsh on the cover, but this surely takes me back.

Obsolete...yes But, the picture is blurry and you got too much glare on the walkman. Since the walkman is black, perhaps using a white background and pointing your lightsource away from the subject would give you better results.

i was afraid of seeing too may cassette tapes, 8 tracks, records, vidoe tapes, floppy disks, etc.

Hmmm where to begin.... I like the idea here - however - execution... The light is far too bright on the surface of the walkman and causes very dark shadows in the fg. Using fill flash, or a 2nd light source would correct that. Also, the wrinkled cloth gives the image a very rough and thrown together feel. And one last thing, if your going to include the headphones in the shot, I think they should be included completely, not having the wire leave and reenter the image. I hope you find this helpful.

Pretty good lighting, but the focus begs to be better.

nice, but maybe you should have taken it from a different angle? its obselete, in a way, but the picture itself is a little boring. <3
