London's iconic red phoneboxes are fast dissapearing as the use of mobile phones spreads. This picture was taken outside StPaul's cathedral in central London. Not much more than a grabshot, but I wanted to try the idea.

I think you misinterpreted the challenge, because this particular telephone unit is not broken, out of use, disregarded, or anything else mentioned in the challenge description as far as I can see. The challenge didn't say 'compare the old with the new'.
Ok, thanks for your explanation. I can see now why you choose that particular item. I'll rate it a 7.
by putting the cell phone in the same shot as the phone booth, you have effectively shown how obsolete the booth is. This shot belongs in a magazine with an article about the advances of telecommunications.
Good idea however the reflections on the phone booth are a bit distracting. A polarizer would have helped. Seeing more inside the booth I think would have given this image more impact. 6
This took me a second to get what you were referring to.. Maybe if the angle was different to where the cellphone was more noticeable - that might help the concept.
