Retro Room ? by mesmerized

LynEve: Congrats Pat -well done and well deserved :)

Lightpainter: Congratulations. Nice creation.

corngrowth: SAW, congratulations with your 3rd place in the 'Retro' contest.

gonedigital: This fits the retro comp perfectly Pat, 60's to early 70's perhaps! Reminds me of Twiggy and awful pattern designs.

Well done.

4th place
Retro by rvdb

Tomeast: Very nicely done.

Eubeen: Good rework of the old photo, Rob. Great colour tones in the image. Best of luck in the contest.

Vickid: Incredible work, you are gifted, what a tremendous photograph. It says a lot, not only in their faces, demeanor and clothing, you surely get the essence of this time in this photo, but it kind of shakes you up to see the changes since then. This is truly a great effort.

5th place
Caddy and Kittens by Constance52347

gr8fulted: According to dictionary.com:

retro
[re-troh]
Spell Syllables
Examples Word Origin
See more synonyms on Thesaurus.com
adjective, Informal.
1.
retroactive:
retro pay.
2.
of or designating the style of an earlier time:
retro clothes.

However, in today's parlance, it could also mean an already old thing that's cool, or an old style that's coming back. It seems lots of 50s and 60s designs are making a comeback these days. Just one guy's thoughts.
