Why not? What's your reasoning?

It looks nice, I especially like the subject matter. I'm a sucker for old cameras.

I agree the crop is too tight. Rationale? It looks crowded. Good pix anyway though.

pic #1: The center of interest is the lens and shutter, with a nice diagonal from the fold of the bellows to draw your eye toward it, and it's...well...just centerish. I would rather have it center or not at all center, and I have no issue with a photo that has a lot of black for your eye to play around in. Sort of the way a horizon at 30deg can be much less distracting than a horizon at 3deg. Also, the flip out food on the standard just hanging at the edge of the frame makes it seem crowded.

Agreed. Thanks for the advice. :thumbup:

Our assignment was to use a clamp light from Walmart to achieve a dark, mysterious photo, where the subject blends into the background. I took numerous shots using a flash which I think came out better, however, that was not the assignment so I opted out of posting those shots.
