Looking back at my comment (below) I realise how crass and insensitive it was. To suggest an image of an old veteran holding his medals makes an assumption that the brave soldier pictured was one of the lucky ones who did make it back. Apologies if I upset you back when I made my original comment.

| This is a wonderful image! I don't understand the cropping at the bottom, the metals are partly missing, plus the right edge of the shot has me asking why. Are the metals themselves a bit worn, I just can't see that as being a focus issue. Overall, nice job! 8 Swash |

| Nice composition. I'm glad you chose to leave this in color as well, the medals really add to the contrasts here. One of my highest rated this round |

I'm not sure if the light from below at the medals was a good choice. For itself it looks good, nice contrast and very dramatic, but I think it does not fit to the photo in the background. It almost looks like the medals were put into the photo in postprocessing (what I don't think was actually done). But there is such a high contrast between the two subjects that it looks strange. Also in regard to the colors. The medals are highly saturated but the photo has very soft colors which really look old.
Now it could be that this contrast was intended. If so then, well, I don't like it ;-)
It also would be nice to see the medals completely. Instead I see the dark cloth or something like that. I also don't like that the right edge of the photo is visible.
Anyway, it fits the challenge and it's a good idea.

| Nice arrangement and vibrant colour. I've a feeling those medals are impressive. But check out those ears! (no offense meant!) |

| I do like the idea, but the bottom of the medals are hidden and the photo isn't straight within the shot... otherwise I sort of like it... I would have liked even better an old man looking at his medals or some such... |

| Good idea. Could use better framing. |

| Nicely done. Focus is good, lighting is good, subject is good. The cropping at the bottom of the medals is a bit strange. 7 |

| the concept here is really nice... I think the edge of the photo being visible in the frame also adds a nice sense of 'old' because it is a bit tattered and torn... - jmsetzler |

| Decently setup though the edge on the right and the slightly cut off medallions distract from the overall effect. |

| Great idea. The only suggestion would be to eliminate the black strip down the right, and not to cover the bottom of the medals up. karmat |

| I find the black space to the right and bottom of the picture distracting. The black on bottom is also covering the bottom of the medals. |

| Without the medals, it'd be much better. Or did you think about trying it in B&W ? |

Something old. Use your photographic technique to emphasize the age of your subject.
Composition - good
Technical Aspects - quite good
Meets Challenge - yes
Visual Impact / Originality - high/good

| Love the idea, however I find the cloth at the bottom and the right edge of the picture distracting. I like the contrast between the bright colors of the medals and the mellow colors of the photo. (6) |

| This is a picture of a picture. Several in this genre have been submitted for this challenge. I find the attempt to make it more than just a rendition of a picture, i.e. the medals, not successfully done. |
