1st place
Time In A Bottle by LynEve

trixxie17: Love the song and love this entry Lyn - very clever.

casechaser: Congrats Lyn!

Dunstickin: ~~Takes mine down cos this has won!!!~~

Brilliant idea honey!>..

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?

Time Passing by coram9

zunazet: Congrats on the place in the contest Chris. Well done.

Digital_Angel: Chris,

I like this image a lot, from the muted colors to the composition.

I do have two crits though:

1. Not sure if you could do this, but if the DoF were a little longer into the clock from the 12 towards the center I think it would cut a little into the mainly blurry image, creating a little more depth and visual interest.

2. The area in focus could be sharpened a little, which helps with crit #1

Just my opinion of course :)
