    Re: Relic

    It is not bad but not outstanding either.

    The light and color are nothing special although the subject and location are pretty good.

    Have you thought about going totally crazy with this one?

    Yes, yours really jumps MB. When I look at mine afterward, it seems quite flat.

    I like it! That kind of processing really suits the subject matter.

    Neat subject. Nice and sharp, too. But the image cries out for exaggerated contrast... something edgy, vintage, or both.

    The only question I have is, does it still work?

    Re: Relic

    yup it's old, haven't use one of those in a looong time

    even for a public phone it looks old

    I agree the processing needs to get way overboard

    did you try to convince someone to pick it up and pretend they were using it ?
