You've captured exactly the expression of a young person when confronted with a 5-1/4" floppy! :D

Haha! The "floppy" disk! Those were the days, huh! Nice feeling of old times with the colors and facial expression.

Great idea! Be careful with that disk, though. I expect to see them on Antique Road Show before long. I might have tried to increase the contrast some.

I like this... she even has an old-time hairstyle... at least I HOPE it's intentionally old-time and I didn't just insult her!

This photo is somewhat average. IT seems as if the focus is making the girl look foolish rather than the disk and the laptop.

I love the expression on her face (Just as an aside, at the community college where I work, we still have some programs that just have no comparison now, so we still have a box of these AND and Apple IIe that can be used.) The only distraction in the picture is that it seems to have a yellowish cast to it.

Awesome, really shows how life it like today, compared to 5 years ago.

Oh, this is too funny! Love it! You'd probably be getting higher scores if you'd balanced out the whites a bit. If you shot RAW, you can do it in RAW; if not, you can use Selective Color in PS (yep, in basic) to remove the yellow - PM me if you're not sure how to do that.

comical set up. if the model was dressed differently, it could have added some to the photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

LOL great concept that deserved better lighting (a bit of flash would help) and a sharp focus. But I am still giving you good points just for showing me one of those floppy disks one more time!

nice picture

haven't seen on of those in years!

Classic shot! Where did you find one of those floppies?! I love the idea of the teenage girl totally confused by the crazy floppy, trying to put it in a current day machine (emphasized even more by the DVD drive on the side of the PC). Lighting is slightly greenish yellow which isn't a problem but is a minor suggestion.

01/30/2008 08:12:07 PM
HAHAHAH!! Funny shot. Work on the local contrast to make the photo pop. USM 24/7/0 as a start.

This is great. This looks like it was taken back in the day. I like your processing.

I love this shot. Her expression is priceless and really conveys 'where the heck does this go?'. The composition is great but the post production (or apparent lack thereof) lets it down. With a little work on the contrast, grain and levels I think this photo could really stand out.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/30/2008 11:01:08 AM
Yep. Exactly. Love it...
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Too cute!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/30/2008 07:21:44 AM
awesome idea, not executed very well. Your white balance is very yellow (could be corrected in most post processing programs) and her details aren't as sharp as they could be. Still an awesome idea...good luck.

Cute idea and facial expression is great. Lighting is kinda flat.
