Being a nurse myself I love this subject, did you intentionally want the paper to look folded? I would have placed it under a sheet of non reflective glass to flatten it first, but that's just me.

Meets the challenge but is not crystal clear, which is important if you want to read the document. Artistically it lacks since it is a document.

I guess I see the reference to "old" but the picture is rather uninspired. 3 Jak

I think if you could have had a way to display this a little differently, it would have made more impact. karmat

Nice subject -- if you were to apply a bit of sharpening, the detail in the lettering would be more defined and easier to read.

Unfortunatly, many modern documents are done in the same olde worlde florid style, so the subject doesnt actually look old. Not sure I like the cropping either. Try upping the contrast, and see if that improoves things.

Definitely old. Not terribly evocative, though. more like a statement.

Crop may be a little too tight. Brighten it up a bit or play with the levels to make the black/white more contrasty.

why shoot this in black & white?

What a great subject for this challenge - I also like the way we can see the creases in this old document. The contrast is a little low and focus is a shade off on the left but other wise it's a great shot.

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

Bad cropping

This would have been super if you could have incorporated in with some additional nurses props from the era. This would have given it the interest to keep one looking. In my opinion any way. Autool

Definitely old...but I'd prefer to see the color version...

If you're Ellen Larsen, you should be proud. However, photographic image is only of the paper. If your picture was on a wall, of in a case or something to show texture or wear it would be more interesting

a little more thought into layout and creating a still life, perhaps? The date would've been hard to read, but it would hold the viewer's interest more.

This is definitely old :) The photogrpahic value is not very strong though.. This photo shows that you are in posession of an old artifact, but the photo itself doesn't hold much artistic value... - jmsetzler

The creases are very distracting.
08/05/2002 09:14:00 AM
Looks a little muddy,punching up the contrast would help.
08/05/2002 01:03:00 AM
The lettering looks a bit blurry...but that could be me.
