 I thought there would be 100 photos of cars, or bikes and things like that. I wanted to try something very different. I took a gamble with this shot. Its a little different, but I like it.

FIRST IMPRESSION: Different take on the challenge than most, but it works.

CHALLENGE: Meets the challenge.

COMPOSITION: The most bothersome item about the composition is the tilt; this might have worked better from straight on, shooting slightly forward rather than from the side. Also, the inclusion of tourism books and a passport conflicts with the use of warplane models.

TECHNICAL: Esposure is good; use of sepia gives this an old-time feel, but the particular tone is a bit more red that most sepia photographs.

CONCLUSION: An interesting take, but some of the items are inconsistent with each other, which probably left voters a bit confused.

Thanks for sharing and good luck in future challenges!

I think the military planes are a bit out of place amongst the other, more touristy stuff.

a head on shot of all this, rather than the sharp angle you have would make this feel less like we are all sliding off a desk or something, but nice idea and cute composition. :) The sepia makes it look more like a WWII invasion plan than the notion of travel thought..just a thought.

Good idea, the color is a bit too red-ish for my taste and the front airplane "crashing" with the passport bothers me a bit. - 5
