Sweet picture, is this camera from the 70´s?

I have a Zenith TTL Special Edition from the Olympics (with olympic logo under the flash place), that came out in URSS (russia) something around the 70´s I guess... and it looks like yours in fact. ;)

I give this photo a 10 for its photographic quality, and composition. Lets hope your camera is from the 70´s! :D

i feel like the sizing and squareness of this image - as well as the thick border, really fits with the theme. lovely image.

The crooked angles both me. Maybe taken further back would have been better?

How did we every do things in the past with such primative tools. Very nice, I think the border worked well.

Nice. The staging is very good, seeming to peek over the top of the case.

Nice theme representation. Angle of the camera and lid are too skewed though. Too bright of light on the flash head too. Diffussed or bounced lighting would have increased the impact and contrast here.
