Hey, that's a great pic of Bill. Hope he saw it.

Ransom

Like most kidnappers, your randsom note is flawed. I presume you want a ribbon before the end of this challenge, not before this chellenge. And torturing the poor guy isn't in a kidnappers best interest. Anyway, all kidding aside, it's cute, and you probably will get your ribbon. Good luck.

Old Bicycle Lantern

Interesting angle and overall pretty good shot (a biit of reflected glare--hard to control with a metal surface like this. I am not familiar with these but the "paper" like thing on the right inside detracts a bit from this shot as one of form.

Wagon 1 from David Smith

Looks low tech; not sure what it is--art work? I suggest in the future when shooting something like this you try moving it away from the background. Also, the photo looks like it could be leveled (blacks/whites adjusted) and focused better.

Nice symmetry; I like the idea to do this high key, but the predominance of non-white tones in the background area lessen the impact that a brighter background would have had.

Old Stone Wall: Jackson, Pennsylvania

Comment:
The B&W treatment here is good, and the tones in the foreground wonderful. However, the 'subject' is relegated to the background here--both in distance and in terms of the focal point, and that weakens it. Without the caption, I would not have a clue what was being proposed here as low tech. While it's a beautiful photo, try to look at your photos as a "third party" and see if they tell the story you want.

PowerTech's Advanced Personal Security System

A simple shot of a pretty low tech common device. The title is funny, and the shallow DOF works here. It would make a good stock photo.

A boy and his wagon

I had one of those when I was little.... fun, low tech toy. I like the black and white here, and the kid's expression is cute, but I think this would have worked better as a tight crop, showing the face, the ensignia, and perhaps the wheels. The grass is just too boring, and yet distracting, a background for this.

Just a man and his guitar

Nice guitar capture; the movement capture is a good idea, but seems more "blurry" than movement blur. Looks like too little DOF (I do understand it was dark there). As to the challenge theme, an electric guitar is "electronic" and not very low tech!
