This shot was taken at a free concert at Golden Gate Park. There was a DJ tent entertaing the crowd and I decided to try and get some close up shots focusing on DJ techniques. I was struck by how many of the DJ's didn't use any Vinyl and thus the title. Not sure if people will feel the perspective of this shot, but I was trying to convey a perspective on what an equipment's view of a DJ would be.

I think bumping up the contrast will help too.

This shot has a potential for that "wow" factor. I think it's simply missing a bit of contrast values. The composition is very nice, the story is there, and the artistic value is definitely also present. Bump the contrast up, I say...

This is a good composition, but it is too dark. I like that you cropped so close, it gives the perspective you were looking for. But I also feel that something is missing.... a little movement on the subject hand perhaps.

Good black and white effect but I think that there could be a little more perspective.

While not a bad concept, for me, it does not create a dramatic perspective effect compared to others in the challenge.

Good picture. Not a strong dramatic perspective but I like it. I can almost hear the sounds.

I like vinyl. >.>
Nice focus. Kind of boring though.
