Hard for me to see technology in this image, even low tech. I'm sure hair restraint must have come a long way over the years, but that seems irrelevant. There is a great amount of detail in the hair, but the overexposure of the lower left corner and last full braid thread really hurt the image. The wayward strands are 'messy'. It would seem even a perfect shot of a braid would need a lot of setup work to ensure that the polish on the final product was not taken away by random hair.

Original idea. There is an overexposed area in the lower left corner that detracts from the overall image.

Not technology at all.

I am not sure what this has to do with low tech. I'm sure you have some low tech concept that this is following, but the message (challenge theme) has to be somewhat apparent to the viewer! Also, this appears to be oversharpened, and unevenly exposed/leveled. With regard to the latter, I think it would have been better to crop the bottom out and stick to the contrasty region which is more appealing.

Braiding is low tech and an effective way to make rope.

Doesn't seem ideal for the topic. Image is ok but too many blown out spots.

when i think of a braid, i don't think "low tech". also, the bottom left corner of the photo seems a bit off.

I think the lower left takes away from this photo

It's not really... technology.

Simple and elegant idea. Clean up the stray hairs and maybe burn the neck so that it doesn't look so blown out.
