blurry, not the most interesting subject matter

i would have liked a bit larger dof.

..doesnt say much..

Excellent focus on the '59, my eye moves right to it - well done. Ironic touch of "year you were born" taken from what might have been a tombstone. Simple and effective. I like it.

Simple, and interesting...but maybe something more creative to illustrate the year...otherwise it's just a photo of a date.
11/25/2006 01:18:59 PM
nice picture...
good angle as it is hard to tell if it is focused left to right or right to left...

The image looks like a year someone died! Anyway, a vote of seven from me.

Interesting, but didn't jump out with the "wow" factor I'm afraid.

Nice DOF, and a simple photo that by itself is ok. For the challenge I think you missed the point a little. "...photograph something that defined the year you were born." Was granite etching symbolic of 1959? Hmmm... Good luck in the challenge.

For me, although your photo fits the challenge, it doesn't hold my interest. It needs another element or two to hold my attention longer.
11/22/2006 11:29:28 PM
How does this DEFINE the year 1959?
11/22/2006 08:17:18 PM
I like the DOF.
11/22/2006 07:00:13 PM
ehhh

I feel it's too bland, needs more kick, lot of things happened then: //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1959 . Keep trying :) 3

I don't think it meets the challenge
I don't understand why you choose to focus on 9

Decent take on photographing a date in stone, but I lose the meaning that this date has. I need more context to apply a feel, a mood or a story to the numbers. Gravestone? Monument? Building marker? 4

Now that is following the rules! I don't know if you could have stopped down a bit more to get the 19 in focus too, but then again that probably would have been just a flat photo with no debth...never mind you did it right.

isn't enough a number for me for that contest
11/22/2006 01:30:13 AM
very literal, but I like it!
