Bzzz, bzzz, bzzz... In my country, the phone makes a loud buzz when it is left off the hook - though in time it goes silent that is not what I first think about. I wish the depth of field were deeper here.
this remeinds me of many a classic shot in the movies where the receiver has a voice coming outthat never stops. not silence to me. nice use of DOF though.
Nice B/W, I like the grainy and blurry background, gives the retro looking phone a real retro look. The crop might be better, the "thingy-you-speak-into-and-i-don't-know-whats-called" is croped of both left and a tiny bit on the lower side. Would like to see some of the shadows on either side.
