I think you did an excellent job showing all the mechanical parts of the machine. The so called table on the left is actually the lid for the machine. The sewing part actually folds down into the table and the lid folds over and covers the recessed machine. It actually converts into a table stand. I think a lot of younger ppl do not recognize old phonographs, sewing machines, and some of the other kitchen utensils in this challenge. I am still amazed that an electrical operated sewing machine finished ahead of yours.

His Master's Voice - The old wind-up phonograph

I think this is the best picture in the challenge. I hope it gets its reward by earning a ribbon. The only draw back is the younger generation not knowing what it is. I remember the Victor Labels and the dog they used as their trademark. There definitely is nothing electrical/electronic associated with your picture.

Hope all goes well

Hi
I have been reading comments on the photos in this challenge. I voted for your iris with a 7. If a person reads all the comments, you can see how different people evaluate. I thought the flower was fresh and very colorful. I have seen a lot of iris' and this one looks pretty lively to me.

Nice scenic photo, but where is the yellow? I guess you must be considering the foreground tree has yellow leafs.

This is a very pleasing photo. The contrast between the black hair and shades of yellow should make this a top ten finisher.

Getting 7 of any thing wild is a challenge. The foreground reflections add to the photo and I am glad they were not cropped out. The fog adds to the calmness of the scene. Great photo and ahould be a winner
