I bet kids nowadays would not even know that this is a phone. Nice composition and framing. Thank you for sharing and best of luck with this image

For some reason this tickles my funny bone! I guess it's the very retro feel to this image. The black and white format works great. Your notes are also very interesting.

A fine entry for the contest. The monochrome gives the feel of old. Easy to imagine that it is Agatha Christie's relative at the phone. The woman seems quite taken by what she is told.
I also appreciate the informative comments very much. Best luck for the contest.

Can't say that I have seen one of those phones before! It does look pretty ancient to me!! Your appropriate composition does a good job of accentuating the oldness combined with the black and white look. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

Fred,
A beautiful picture of your wife "making a call" on the old style telephone in your hotel (Similar to one in my Grandfather's house in the west of Ireland) Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera & editing techniques & sharp focus.The conversion to black & white brings us back to Agatha's lifetime!
Susan
