 What a contrast of culture - cell phones and the Amish. But it's true.
Nothing special to report on this. I was at the Harrisburg Horseworld Expo this past weekend, with my small Olympus camera. Keeping this challenge in mind through the day, I saw the opportunity to zoom in on these Amish girls (Menonites actually.....Amish wouldn't use cell phones) using the phone and talking away.

I posed the shot so that I could easy crop it to the billboard size. I cloned out the window framing that was on the left. Used Photosuite 7's Photodoctor to fix the contrast, lighting and sharpness, and there is it.

Great concept but image seems just a little soft

Well done! Only wish it was a bit sharper. It appears candid ... is it?

Great shot... just slightly OOF.

Needs better focus/sharpening. The pixelation in the shadowed skintones is really distracting.

Focus issues. Nice idea....poorly executed.
