A good example of why you should take your camera wherever you go

I had no ideas for this challenge. Nipped out to ADSA for some shopping but took the camera in case I had an idea, drove past Scotland Street School Museum by chance and instantly saw a blatantly obvious classroom shot.

PP, Just had some fun ageing the shot, possibly to the detriment of the score.

D cap is too strikingly prominent. Would've looked better left in a shady corner like a bad secret.

Wish the dunce cap weren't such a glaring white. Would have like to have seen that toned down a bit as it seems to take away from the rest of this amazing picture.

The tables in the front are a bit out of focus, and the contrast seems a little flat to me, but the composition and detail in the setting are done well.

Love this. The dunce cap is great!!! I thought of this idea but I don't know where schools look like this any more. Perfect use of sepia. Maybe a little busy, but I like it.
