Man... this was one of my high rated photos... Still like the fact that you hit two items in the 80's with this photo.

Here you killed two birds (at least) with one stone... and what a shot ! I like it a lot, the treatment, colors, the subject.. great shot ! ( only remark : it would be even better without the VHS movies to the left... but I guess its also part of the 80's, right ?

hah... two items.

The funny thing is that I never learned how to do the cube but my 13 year old son has been able to do it for 2 years now.

If I had to make this one a bit better I would try to lose the shadow on the main subject (the cube), different lighting perhaps.

Oh lord that looks like the bridesmaid dress I wore for my sister's wedding in 1989!!!
Good composition, good choice of clothing styles.

The clothes are a bit off the mark--they look more office lady than 80's teen (which is what seems to be the hoped for effect). The lighting is interesting but the only thing that really gives this an 80's feel to me is the Rubik's cube.

There are a lot of Rubic's Cubes in this challenge, but unfortunately, although some may have played with it in the 80's, it was really created in 1975. Therefore, the cube was really a 1970's craze, and not an 80's craze.Rubik's Cube was developed in 1975 by Ernö Rubik, a Hungarian professor of mathematics

Nice title, managed to get many things into this photo. If the books were about the Cold War then I reckon you'd have captured everyones ideas!!

not sure about this one...the pose looks awkward and strange...but then again, the 80's were just that! great sharpness and colour
