Alright so I got up this morning and I just started thinking about time and how little of it we have.Related content

Nice. I think I see you reflecting on the watch face. I like the muted colors. Gives it a "moment out of time" feel.

I really like the colour, composition and idea behind this photograph but I hope you still have the watch / background because I think with a couple of tips you can make this picture even better.
Cutting off the right and bottom sides of the watch face work, but cutting at the point of the numbers is a un-nerving. Trying composing it so that the numbers I and VIII are fully on the frame.
Your using a compact which is fine but try putting in on aperture priority and setting the aperture to something more than f2/8 because such a narrow depth of field means that the background is pin sharp but the watch face is slightly off. If you can manually focus the try to focus more on the face rather than the background / centre of the frame. An aperture of f/4.5 or f/8 would keep both background and main subject perfectly in focus. Dependant on light conditions a tripod or other camera support might need to be used for this though so it is a balance between aperture and shutter speed.
Third and final thing is try not to get the reflect of yourself in the glass of the watch, unless you desire this but I can't think why. I might be jumping to conclusions here but I believe this picture was taken on auto mode which is fine but with a little time this incredible idea, composition and idea could be turned from a great photo into a really amazing photo and maybe the best anyone could hope for. Good luck and I hope you do manage to try this idea again. Well done!

I like the combination of background with subject . It gives a great older feel.
Nice framing as well. Just the reflection of yourself could have been without, but anyway nice piecture

i love the background; it complements the clock.
lovely tones.

Its a good shot but it doesn't really have any subject matter other than the reflection in the clock of you taking the shot. If you wanted you could make that more apparent. Or not.
Thank you for not centering it. ;__;
Nice concept.

It's a very good shot, i really love the old feel this photo gives.
The only thing that seems a bit out of place is seeing you on the reflection of the clock, otherwise it's very pretty

But thank you.

Sorry for noticing I was just staring and staring and staring and... hey! Isn't that the photographer?

haha it's all good. I took a billion shots and with different lighting and in the end this was the better one so I was like "I hope no one notices my reflection" xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No worries, the shot is perfect. Let's hope no one else notices
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Now that you pointed it out I think they will.
But they'll get over it.
Haha.

Sorry again. I hope they won't. You see, i kinda hate people that look at other people's comments and repeat the same thing all over again. What's the point of that...?
Anyway, keep up the good work

I like this. The wavy background texture works so well with the clean look of the clock.
