  1. I am in love with everything in this picture. From the composition of the subject/s to the process of distressing the picture.

  2. The blurriness of the photo and distressing of it stays true to the process of old photography. While the blurriness around the perimeter of the picture is perfect, the objects that would have been closest to the camera lens need to be slightly sharper. Other than that, the color temperature of the picture make it very believable.

  3. I absolutely love this composition. It's old and antique so I think that it fits the process well! The only critique I would have is maybe make everything a little sharper except for her hand with the teapot. But overall I totally love this image.

  4. This image works well within the project's guidelines. The subject is clearly antique - especially with the touch of antique dolls. The cracking and distress throughout the image work nicely.

  5. This is wonderful. I think you nailed it with the blurring on the figure and the sharpness of the stuffed animals and dolls. The distressing is also very well done. I also enjoy the perspective in which this was shot, so that the viewer of the photo seems like a guest at the tea party.

  6. The story plays so well into the conceptual conversation this piece is having with the process at hand. It appears as if a modern woman is stepping back into a time when she used to have tea parties as a little girl. The emulation of the Wet Plate process is quite successful as well. One thing I might recommend would be adding more blur to the hand and the face since this pose would be very hard to hold for an expended period of time. I would also look at depth of field and how you might imply a much shorter one.
