| Would look great in Sephia. I'm a big fan of these bathing suits, much more sexier than 2 pieces. |

Awesome idea and processing. The coloring works well on this to give it a "yesteryear" feeling.
Compositionally, a lot of times the "centered" subject doesn't work well, but in this shot, it helps to focus the viewer's attention on the subject and assists in giving the shot that vintage feel.
Technically, it is also well done. The shadow across her face is a double edged sword. On the one side it is a little distracting to not see the top of her face clearly, but on the other, it really helps to add "context' and 'realness' to the shot.
It wasn't immediately obvious to me how this shot fit the challenge, other than realizing that most models, in this setting, have substantially less clothing on. I know models can be difficult to scrounge up, but the 'anachronism' part of this challenge could have been made really humorous if there were two or three really hip/modern looking guys standing around in obvious modern swimsuits. Granted, this would change the entire feeling of the shot, but it would be another direction you could take, if you ever felt inclined to reproduce it.
Good work and good showing in the challenge!
Please feel free to contact me if I need to clarify or further explain myself.

| Really beautiful. Forgive me for saying so, but the anachronism is a bit too subtle: except for the barely noticeable Cinzano umbrella in the back, there's nothing here to indicate contemporary life. |

| LOoks like an old time photo for sure but something modern to compare it to would've bumped this into ribbon contention. Great job just the same. |

| I like the style of this shot but there is no real super-imposition with the present day. |

| I really like the antique feeling of this shot. The woman with the bathing suit really pops at you, it has great composition and I really like the DOF and vignetting around your image. The sepia adds a great deal to the shot, especially with the editing of bringing in the color. A great expression on the girls face, and I think the person on the left is spying on you. Well done. 10 |

| Monica this is the very best of the challenge! One of your greatest work. The idea is so fitting and the desat process is so matching with the 60s photos! A 10 from me! |
