Going into this I'm thinking that some may not see the age in this image, because it is so well preserved, yet my salad bowl has served 3 generations and is older than I am. It shows it's age in subtle beauty and richness of color, lacking in new wood, and I tried to capture it as I see it. This piece is used daily.

Nice knife too

great composition, lighting, and colors. the one thing that throws me off is the placement of the knife. it's nice to have a straight line to interrupt the curves of the photo, but you might experiment with other placements.

Something old. Use your photographic technique to emphasize the age of your subject.
Composition - quite good
Technical Aspects - quite good
Meets Challenge - not convinced. hard to tell the bowl is old
Visual Impact / Originality - pretty good

Odd angle. It gives the impression of having just tripped up and falling head first over the bowl (which makes it a little uncomfortable to look at). Or maybe that's just me.

I looked at this and asked myself what it represented to me. Mediterranean. Fresh. Salad. Picnic. Lots of things came to mind, but not Something Old. Sorry.

I think looking straight down into this image makes it appear kinda flat. Also, the light works wonderfully for the leaves/green, but it is a little too much on the lemon, I think. karmat

Good colors. Other than the title, the photo does not directly keep with the "old" theme.

Very well titled and lovely lighting. Just a tinge of blurryness about the lemon.

Pretty composition:)

Lost some detail on your lemon but otherwise very nice.

Beautiful colors. Shading is great. But it does not fit the challenge, actually.

that lemon appears to be overexposed. I don't like the knife handle cut off where its cut off. Otherwise I like the composition.

Is the bowl old?

This is a nice composition... the lemon is a ilbble over exposed though... I love wooden bowls and I have a few old ones myself... they just don't 'look' old :) - jmsetzler

Nice idea, but when you want to show the bowl why did you add the lemon, the knife and the salad on top of it? It's a bit too much for my taste. Especially the bright yellow lemon.
Also this photo if very blurred and looks like it has a bad jpeg compression.
Colors and lighting are nice and it could have been a good photo.

The exposure needs a little help here,the lemon is really washed out.
