Diffuse spot light dimmed to match radio dial illumination.

A good classic, excellent light and no distractions for background yet looking norm.. Perfect, great job.

Lovely radio with a lot of nostalgia. A less distracting background and non-striped shirt would probably be better, allowing the user to focus on the really nice radio, clarity, wood.

Great composition and subject(s). Maybe could have done with some post-processing: warmer tones?

This is a wonderful original radio. The concept is wonderful, yet did not live up to its potential. A different background and more interesting lighting would have lifted this image up several levels. 5

I wish everything were just a bit sharper. Neat Philco!

There's not a lot of 'wow' factor to this shot. I would have liked to see more of the beautiful wood grain of that classic radio.

I like the overall composition. Crits:

- Wish the Philco light played a larger part in the picture (i.e. less other light)
- You seem bland (e.g. hair, ear), could be more crisp.

Keep it up !

The wireless - radio is still my favourite broadcast medium by far. Never have owned a TV. 7.
