Tim, For me a nostalgic moment. Very nice set. Composition is also good sharpness. Nice atmosphere of yesteryear, Greetings Resias

A vintage shot of an old record player at Grandmas house. I like the natural lighting that comes through the draps, it has this pink tone to it. Normal the flower and vace would be a distraction but in this case it brings a nice reflection underneath the LP player cover. The glare on the LP record is a distraction because you cant see the detail on the needle arm. Its definitely a nostolgic picture at Grannies house where time has stopped. TFS - David

Hi David. Thank you for your feedback and kind words. Good point about the excessive glaring on the record. I will correct that as I shot this composition in RAW with AEB. Thanks for noticing. Regards, Tim

Tim, Nice lighting and color tone. Could you have lowered the crop at all? Maybe less on top and show more of the player. Thanks for sharing, Steve

Hi Stephen. Than you for your feedback and critique. If I cut the window on top and move the bottom line of the frame lower, this would increase the very dark front side of the player and decrease the area of the light window. I do not want to cut the window, which bears much interesting information as to my taste it is very beautiful due to its wooden trellised frame and vague silhouettes of the trees behind. Along with that I do not want either to enlarge the dark players side which does not bear any interesting information at all, but would rudely dominate the whole composition if increased. Regards, Tim
