 An old phonograph we have in the living room, when people come over they always want to hear it, todays systems are so much better!!!! I wish the challenge was not basic so I could get rid of a couple of the dust specs on the record but hopefully they will not drag the image down to much.

Interesting object, but there is a real lack of detail on the bottom half of the shot.

Liked the details on the phonograph head. Would have liked to see more of the platter.

Good use of depth of field. I like the way the logo in the back is soft enough not to distract, but at the same time is still readable.

Very pretty - it's just a pity about the compression artifacts around the needle - don't you hate basic editing!
