They still got phones like that? An interesting shot but I keep asking myself, where would a person display a shot like yours? Who would buy it? I feel the market would be small but if a chain store wanted it you could make a bundle. 5
I can see this concept being used for stock photography, so you've met the challenge. It's fun to see one of those phones, my parents had one, now it looks old and clunky to me. I like the composition of your photo for stock photography, too. Generally, I would have said it's a little unbalanced, but in this case I feel there's room available for someone to add text to the photo. I do see some issues with the technical site of this photo. Overall, the focus is soft, and there are highlights from the lighting. That can be fixed by holding a couple of sheets of paper between the light-source and your subject. I can see your reflection in the middle of the dial, I'm not sure what would've been the easiest way of removing that. Lastly, your background is a little gray in the bottom right corner (I know just how hard it is to get a really white background so I appreciate your effort) and there are some dirtparticles (?) visible (right middle, inside of the loop made by the cord).
Perfect stock photo image. My only comment is that the crop might be too tight for a stock photo (us wacky designers just love to do our own cropping), but I'm not holding that against you. This is a very nice image and at a great angle.
I usually take the easy way out and don't comment on submissions I rank low. But I guess that is not fair. I start with a shot as a 5 for average. If it's better than average, I add points. On the other side I subtract for specific things. In this case one each for poor composition and cropping, indistinct focus, not on subject, and just a snap shot.
Love the phone. I think it would have been a lot better and a saleable shot if the telephone wasn't so dirty. I'm sure it's just due to being worn but it still takes away from the overall qualtity of the photo. I like the composition too.
I think this image would be better if it were sharper overall. There seems to be a dark spot along the right hand side and a few other spots (maybe your CCD needs cleaning). None the less, you've handled it quite well with the lighting and framing.
