This picture was taken of a large hinge for an old garage door at my farm that has long not been used for obvious reasons. Taken near dusk with a Fugi S7000. No major adjustments made with camera other than focus. Used Photoshop 6 to convert to my personal settings for sepia effect. Also added film grain and extra sharpening to add aging effect.

This is one of the nicest 'way to small' photos I've ever seen. Too bad it isn't big enough to see!

PS: In case no one else has offered to help, PM me after challenge and I'll help ya with sizing issues!
Far too small, small images do not do well in challenges. Please use the full 640x640 we are allowed. Aside from that, nice tone,focus and good composition. Just a shame it's so damn small.
Youl'l probably get marked down for the size of this photo as it's hard to get a good look at it...that being said, it looks like it could have been a great photo although I'm not too excited about the placement of the hinge in the frame. the composition seems to be lacking in this regard. otherwise, a great subject with great mood to it.
Hi there. I'd like to spend some time and give you a detailed critique.
Challenge theme: Appropriate. Fits within the spirit of the challenge.
Technical details:
- Size: Inadequate. Please resize to 600-640 pixels in all future submissions.
- Focus: Appears to be satisfactory. Fine detail is present.
- Tonal range: Compressed. No tonal values in either extreme.
- Exposure: Adequate for given artistic presentation.
Artistic details: Your composition and framing works well here. The gritty duotone sets the mood. There's not enough pixels here to really give your photo the impact it deserves and can potentially impart.
Overall: This is a good effort which is unfortunately hampered by technical limitations imposed by the size of the entry.
