mschf: Dear Fuji, please make a tilting LCD variant of this beaut and I'm sold.
I understand the argument for wanting to appeal to traditionalists but also think having the convenience of being able to compose at WL doesn't stray too far from this idea except for strictly in rangefinder terms. A wee bit of digital evolution couldn't hurt (the hybrid VF already is a departure from the RF "standard") ;)
I fail to see how a tilting LCD looks like a video lovers' gimmick though...

Don't worry, you're in the majority. Most of the top-ranked entries get little/no comments. State somewhere that camera X sucks though and you'll get plenty of feedback ;).

Thanks FNG, yeah I had higher hopes for this one too but I'm happy with the result regardless. Maybe it would have done better as a single frame vs. a series but I wanted to tell a "story" as well as demonstrate the possibilities when using a "silent" camera, esp. at close range ;)

This is a nice portrait of an old man but (as with about 95% of the entries in this challenge), how does this actually resolve the idea of "interpreting" old age? We all know old people have wrinkles and sometimes look "wise" from all that life experience (assuming the subject is a person) but is the man depicted here (as with 95% of all of the entries) in fact exhibiting anything that's typically seen as part of being elderly?

On challenge entry looking back in the Old Age challenge
(1 comment in total)
Lovely portrait, best of the entries in my opinion as it's a refreshing change from the usual mugshot images that litter topics like this (and your photo actually attempts to "interpret old age" as requested by the host).

Even though this one kind of focuses more on people rather than a coffee shop, it was my favorite entry (unfortunately I forgot to vote in this challenge). Every person in the scene has a little story to tell.

mschf: Wherever it is, it's nice (as is the photo)! :)
Sem sumil, da je to nekje blizu mene, čeprav še nikoli nisem bil točno na tem mestu. Čestitke za 7. mesto, slika zasluži visoko oceno :). Lep pozdrav!

I gave this one 5 stars, nicely composed, fits the topic.
More 'decisive' than 'defining' I think but it's perfect!
Congrats! Superb image, eye candy for the hungry (and American 50's nostalgia buffs) :)

Very well done and a perfect example of "pride". My fave entry by far!
Good show and a deserving win :)

My favorite entry, deserves to win as it illustrates the topic perfectly! Congrats CF!

Congrats on the win, this shot is just the type of entries I hoped to see... I'm also not sure though if this is a guy or a gal ;)

One of the best imitations (meant as a compliment) I've seen. Really well done and dare I say a testament to the superiority of film ;)
I think I might have seen this handle a few times ;)
Excellent composition and processing, and congrats on a deserving win!
Best entry of the bunch in my view, excellent street shot!
Love the way the seating is arranged and the attention paid to some of the smaller details. Most of all the post-processing makes everything work.
