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

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 :)

For wisdom is protection just as money is protection. But the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the lives of its possessors.

Add me to the list that enjoy your image here.

And..

Been trying to figure out whether or not you did some stuff in post processing, or.. shot this one through something?

(There are elements in/of the bokeh that add to this mystery of sorts, to my eyes and mind.)

I don't think, and I could be wrong.. that simply dialing in the DOF is the visual result of what we are seeing within frame.


Like Bethany above, a part of me does wish to see more of.. as in, a wider/deeper DOF.

On the note of sharpening, and in my humble opinion ... clarity and focus, as is ... and presented, with respect to the areas in focus ... are fine.

Exposure is good good. Composition as well.


Very nice shot and one that would keep me looking at it for some.. ahem ... time. There's lots to like and take in, despite it's simplicity.

Nice concept of the focus in general. If I was to critique anything, I personally would have preferred maybe a little less off-focus/blur. Thanks for sharing it.

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

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
