Overall, you met the challenge. I think, though, the subtlety of what you were trying to accomplish may have been missed. In the digital age, holgas and their "look" is virtually obsolete, or at best, largely unknown. Also, I think many pictures in this challenge (mine included) were a bit "ebayish." They weren't necessarily "bad," per se, but they were a bit unintriguing, simply because there was no context to help establish a "story" for the camera. One thing that *might* have helped your composition would be to have it less centered, or to have a lower perspective of it.
I am wondering if a different background would have helped you. The red, to me, is more interesting, but in keeping with the characteristics of the camera that it appeared you were trying to keep, it may have been interesting if you could have found an older part of town or something like that to have as a backdrop.
That said, because of your shot, I feel a bit more educated about the history of photography. :)
Best to you in the future.

I've been considering getting one of these of a Lomo, but I have a Pentax auto 110 I want to experiment with first. |

Great job recreating the "Holga" look. I'll be checking back to see how many "dark and blurry" comments you get. 9 |

You have certainly captured the esence of Holga here - a more interesting back/goreground would have generated a higher score from me though. |

now, I'm guessing by the title that this is purposfully out of focus, odd contrast and hints of light leaks.... if not, then it could use work cleaning it up. Unfortunately for you, I bet most voters will not get it. |

Focus a little soft. Lighting could be improved, Shadows too harsh |
