too bad the background is not very appealing for this fantastic underwood typewriter

i like this one..a little more editing on the spot refelctions in the background and the backdrop would really improve it

nice find, but the set-up is like the photo was taken to sell it on e-bay :)

I see why you picked this as your subject. I think that you could have made a more compelling image out of a closeup that perhaps includes the brand name Underwood, some of the keys below, and some of the dies all lined up above.

Composition: 5, Back drops are a bummer. Maybe if you had draped the sheet so it would have been continuous, without the break between table and wall, it might become more a photograph. Looks more like just another typewriter this way.
Technical: 4
Appeal: 3
Challenge: 10
Overall Calculated Average Score: 6, Be nice to add a secretary typing.

I like the object shown here....it's interesting to study. Perhaps a closer view with a more interesting perspective of it. Good job.

I love the subject, but I wish you had straightened out the sheet so that the wrinkles don't reveal shadows. Maybe a secondary light on the background could have helped blow it out completely. Nice effort and creativity!

It's a wonderful object but the lighting and background don't begin to do it justice. As a sidenote, how is a tpewriter the
grandfather" of a computer? Wouldn't that be an adding machine? Or better yet, an abacus?
