 I am trying to communicate the days of radio as the only means of information and news.
That dog is my Yorkie, Java. I had some with my German Shepherd running through as well, but she became the subject LOL
I had the hardest time with this one because I lack good lighting. I took the best of the bunch, cropped out as much interfering shadows and here you have it!
I am hoping for a 6+, but doubt it *sigh

The tones makes this picture look old worldly. I do wish camera had caught more of the lady than the bare wall on the left.

I love this photo. There's a lot to look at, but I couldn't name one thing that's distracting. The only thing I would change is the lighting. It looks as though it was taken with natural light during the day. Unfortunately, I think it's just a bit too bright. Still a great photo!

The balance/placement of the objects have my eyes jumping around the page.

Love the processing of this, love the image. I think everything you have left here has its place, even the cropped out picture. The light is good, it all works.........

Nice "old" photo. Looks very authentic. Can't believe it was taken now.
