Being a nurse myself I love this subject, did you intentionally want the paper to look folded? I would have placed it under a sheet of non reflective glass to flatten it first, but that's just me.
Unfortunatly, many modern documents are done in the same olde worlde florid style, so the subject doesnt actually look old. Not sure I like the cropping either. Try upping the contrast, and see if that improoves things.
What a great subject for this challenge - I also like the way we can see the creases in this old document. The contrast is a little low and focus is a shade off on the left but other wise it's a great shot.
Something old. Use your photographic technique to emphasize the age of your subject. Composition - quite good Technical Aspects - quite good Meets Challenge - yes Visual Impact / Originality - good
This would have been super if you could have incorporated in with some additional nurses props from the era. This would have given it the interest to keep one looking. In my opinion any way. Autool
If you're Ellen Larsen, you should be proud. However, photographic image is only of the paper. If your picture was on a wall, of in a case or something to show texture or wear it would be more interesting
a little more thought into layout and creating a still life, perhaps? The date would've been hard to read, but it would hold the viewer's interest more.
This is definitely old :) The photogrpahic value is not very strong though.. This photo shows that you are in posession of an old artifact, but the photo itself doesn't hold much artistic value... - jmsetzler
