the greyest of all blue skies

Great shot, but the border makes it look like clip art, in my opinion. There's a lot of "artifacts" around the post & sign, which is from overcompression - the file size is only about 18K, but it can be up to 150K. Great effort though, i still like it a lot.

Great idea - is that really an old medicine bottle? It certainly is old! The light is very harsh, and the reflections & strong shadows steal the spotlight from the subjects (no pun intended!) I've found that reflecting the light off a piece of white foamboard helps, or putting paper or fabric in front of it softens and reduces glare. Thanks for being creative on your subject choice!

Nice shot of very different rings! The composition is a little odd to me - i would have placed them further down in the frame, because they seem like they're floating in air. Pleasing picture, otherwise.

This is an interesting take on the challenge, and I appreciate the creativity. The mottled background is very distracting - it almost camoflagues the plant.

I really like the serenity you captured by the excellent use of negative space & a pallete of greys. I think you rely too much on the title to relate it to the challenge, but that doesn't make this any less of a great photo. 8

Great idea! The highlights on the new screws are a little glaring & makes it difficult for me to want to look for very long, but it surely emphasises the new vs. the old!

I'm having a hard time telling which one is old and which is new. Oh, duh, the one on the left that's not laced & tied is new. Overall, this doesn't wow me, but I like the sepia tone. 6

Very cool! I love how the lines of the 2 bldgs. meet, and the blue & white coloring. Stunning!
