For you choice of subject (old phone), you did good. But I can't for the life of me fiqure out why you did this effect to it? Your title makes me think that maybe you did this because you wanted to relate the message that the old phone was filled with fury? Huh?
I think that the main problem, and it is a big one, is that your entry does not make sense. The effect that you did riuned it. I love pictures that are different, don't get me wrong. But you should have just let the phone itself (focused) be the subject,....not a crazy phone filled with fury. You probably would have done pretty well.
Now you won the brown ribbon for this one. Don't be sad. There are more challenges and you can't do any worse. You can only get better from here.
If the gaussion blur was used in this image, I don't think it helped it much. The image is not easily identifiable. I did like the way the colors came out on this one. It's warm tones about the best part of the picture.
Sorry, but the blurred image (although obviously taken of a rotary telephone) does not (IMHO) clearly represent anything meaningful (even with the title). Yes, the challenge required "Take a picture of something that has outlived its usefulness. It could be old technology, broken, discarded, outgrown, forgotten - anything. Exception: people (alive or dead) are not to be the main subject.", but it's difficult to distinguish any major subject or meaning from this photo (IMHO). I understand that it is of a rotary telephone, but why not represent it more clearly? 1
