1st place
Time In A Bottle by LynEve

purmusic: Really nice, Lyn.

Caveats?

Undecided, really.. as to whether the crop is a tad tight.

And it has not gone unnoticed by me, that you were working with the physical constraints/size of the wood top. Just can't quite shake the thought of a bit more breathing room to the right of the rose might be an improvement.

That said..


Good good control and handle on the technical considerations. Lighting is nice, too.


p.s. Then, it hits me.. the size of the sides of your border/framing.

See if the following joke reference makes sense..

As an added punishment for prisoners.. jail house authorities are considering placing the bars on the prison inmate uniforms.. horizontal.

('Cause.. then the prisoners would go around thinking that they are 'fat'. :oP)


To my eyes, and mind.. with the border width/size at the sides as presented.. kind of, sort of ... fights with the vertical lines of the bottle and the hanging watches.

Downloaded and cropped on the above thought(s) ... looks better?

2nd place
Time Passing by coram9

Flmngseabass: An interesting perspective Chris. Who would have thought you could make time 'mysterious' but you did here. Nice shot and presentation!:)

Starry173: I like the lack of focus that shows the future is yet unknown.

3rd place
A Month in the Life of the Moon by Akeraios

rvdb: Congrats on your win.

Rob

mesmerized: This is really a beautiful and well done creation...quite a unique take on the Time contest...great job and best of luck.

purmusic: Really nice work, Hannah.


If I may.. composition.

In my humble opinion, think you could make some 'minor' (on the notes of your concept and overall presentation) changes.

Moon ... smaller.

Allowing for the Xaos fractal to provide stronger leading lines within frame, prodding your viewer's eyes to look into your piece.. deeper. As they are a nice touch.

Add some more depth, in short.

And in turn, knock down the moon's prominence (visual weight), too.


Will summarize my thoughts here.. in a popular phrasing..

'+favs for me.'


Best of luck in the contest with this very strong creative contender. :o)

5th place
A Time to Remember by johindes

100k_xle: So sorry to hear the bad news of War Casualties. Way too young to die so soon. I'll say a Prayer for them.
