They say great minds think alike...mine is the close up of the keys. I won't divulge my name though, so my picture will remain anonymous......for now. :-) You did a nice job! Good luck.
This is a very interesting object and the picture has charm. But I wonder whether a full-on, 'portrait'-oriented version of it would provide a more satisfying chunk of three-dimensional space required for a balanced photograph. Just a thought. Very good though.
What I really like about the photo is the sepia tone that conveys the typewriter's antiquity, and the lighting (except perhaps the really dark shadows in certain spots). I think though, that it has lost something compositionally by being shot straight on instead of trying out other viewpoints. Perhaps getting in closer and making it slightly more abstract?
Why in the world di you crop off part of this beautiful machine? Why? I don't care what anyone else says you should not have done it! That's my personal opinion. That lost my 10. PTL Thought about it and the crop on corpped off 1 point.
Nice photo, well exposed and the sepia works well. What really lets this down is the cropping - cutting off the top and especially the bottom just throws the whole composition right off - The subject 'appears' to have more height than width so might have worked better in portrait with some negative space at the top: 6 -lamedos-
