Thanks, to all except for one The building got built in the year of 1954. The old fire station on main street burn downed. Look at the handicaped sign and the fire hazzard look level the station on a hill.

tilted, overexposed, too many distracting elements
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/28/2006 04:21:28 PM
sorry, I don't see what relevance this shot has to 1954
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/28/2006 01:25:06 AM
This photo is not level, not clear and doesn't seem to have anything to do with 1954.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/27/2006 05:57:13 PM
quality is too low !! significance of the year is unclear..
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/27/2006 01:33:42 PM
Here are the reasons for my 1 vote:
1. I can't interpret the photo to 1954...
2. unlevel horizon.
3. Blown highlights in sky and roof.
4. No subject.
5. Harsh lighting resulting in flat picture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/27/2006 12:29:56 PM
this seems slightly over exposed... and im not quite seeing the 1954 bit.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/27/2006 11:45:10 AM
i would make the building straight. the coloring seems a bit dull.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/27/2006 11:37:45 AM
is it tipped on purpose? This has what to do with 1954?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/27/2006 11:07:14 AM
what about this photo says "1954"? highlights are blown, horizon is very tilted ... sorry ..
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/26/2006 08:16:25 PM
sorry but just seems like a snapshot and a tilted one at that. nothing about the photo says 1954 to me and it seems pretty blown out at the top.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/26/2006 02:11:49 PM
Sorry, I don't understand what you are getting at with this crooked, overexposed shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/26/2006 01:08:48 PM
Not a great exposure and not really sure what this photo has to do with 1954.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/26/2006 09:54:16 AM
I'm assuming this is the year the firestation was built?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/25/2006 07:20:07 PM
Where'd the contrast go? Strange angle for a picture that doesn't seem to say much about 1954.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/25/2006 01:22:29 PM
not real sure what the picture is saying here...
where firetrucks invented on 54 ?

I would have def. leveled the picture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/25/2006 01:21:32 PM
Doesn't tell a story as such: I am not emotionally moved by the picture...it doesn't hold my interest...maybe a lack of mystery,story,detail that invites the viewer to spend some time looking at it...?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/25/2006 06:59:09 AM
Need to keep track of your lines. This one needed straightening. Contrast and color seems too low, as well.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/24/2006 06:43:28 PM
Watch out for that tilt!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/24/2006 01:31:48 PM
ummm
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/24/2006 11:23:04 AM
Not sure what this has to do with 1954. Really washed out image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/24/2006 11:17:59 AM
the slant bothers me a bit. perhaps a bit more contrast?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/24/2006 10:18:38 AM
Although you were born in '54, I can't see the relationship to the fire trucks or fire station. And the roof is too over-exposed.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/24/2006 10:02:07 AM
I don't know what this image means with regards to 1954. ALso technically speaking it is just a snapshot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/24/2006 08:22:27 AM
Was this shot on a hill or you tripped? :-) Sorry, the horizon is very crooked and distracting... Was this intentional?

Good luck.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/24/2006 03:38:49 AM
Great! Looks just like a still captured from one of your dad's old 8mm reels, Right? :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/23/2006 05:33:49 PM
Where to begin?....

It seems really tilted. Most photo software has a rotation tool. Or hold the camera straight.
It seems over exposed. Try a little faster shutter speed.
It seems that the contrast is too high. That can be adjusted in basic editing.
I don't understand the association to 1954.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/23/2006 04:15:35 PM
What's the story. I';m not impresses with the photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/23/2006 02:35:42 PM
I dont get this picture at all.. this seems to have nothing to do with any year born, and it seems as though you did not take the time to edit it or anything...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/23/2006 01:01:35 PM
Not really getting the relationship between the title and the picture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/23/2006 12:52:51 PM
I don't understand what fire station has to do with 1954, sorry. Also tilted horizon doesn't work and it's overexposed.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/22/2006 11:23:31 PM
I don't understand in which way this photo defines the year 1954. Oh and I think you really should straighten it :-)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/22/2006 10:14:17 PM
I don't get the 'effect' attempted for this picture. Horizon is distracting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/22/2006 09:44:36 PM
I've been looking at this for a few minutes now, and I still can't see where this defines or even describes 1954. The sky in particular is overexposed, and I don't care for the tilt of the image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/22/2006 03:52:12 PM
Not sure that I see how this shot ties in to 1954? Is there something there that I am not seeing?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/22/2006 01:16:56 PM
the contrast may be boosted
the colors are flat
the upper part of the photo is overexposed
the pictures seems tiled
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/22/2006 01:04:42 PM
much too bright/lacking of contrast/blown highlights and tilted. not even the firetrucks seem to be from 54
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/22/2006 12:00:06 PM
I don't get the connection to the picture
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/22/2006 10:55:00 AM
I'm not sure what relates to 1954?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/22/2006 08:31:54 AM
poor quality, overexposed, noisy and needs uprighting.. I don't get the idea if there was any.. sorry, but this entree won't score much..
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/22/2006 07:12:03 AM
Don't get it. Needs a little work (e.g. straightening, increased contrast, color bump). Overall scene has some potential.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/22/2006 02:41:00 AM
I don't quite understand what you wxant to say with this image
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/22/2006 01:45:43 AM
and this realtes to the challenge, how?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/22/2006 01:27:42 AM
i cannot see any link between the shot and the year
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/22/2006 01:01:54 AM
come on, at least make an effort
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/22/2006 12:33:22 AM
This has the feel of an old Brownie snapshot. All you're missing is the finger over the lens. ;-)
