What are those things you have been stacking up like that? There are 6 of them. Yeah, your number of ribbons you have collected this year so far :) Congrats!

Falling behind so fast. I need to pull out of my funk. The desire to shoot has just died out and the challenges have not been that enticing to create. Well done Oliver. I will just keep in mind that 50 is still far away for both of us. ;)

That's where the title comes from :)

And yet another ribbon for you! Congratulations, you took some risk with the composition (which is very good), and it paid off!

ETA: I love the white frame, works greatly here.

Don't forget the essential touch of mint green!

Impactful composition. Great work!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Beautifully handled exposure and graphically the best in the challenge. I do wish you had the rest of the clock parts in the image, but the few that you have are put to good use.

Nicely set up and great imagination!

Great composition. Love how the single red item forces the eye to stop looking down.

My winner... no need to say why, you already know you did a wonderful image :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/30/2011 12:45:39 AM
Lovely. I like the border, and it provides great breathing room. My only quirk with this is the competition between the bold red clock arm, and the weird sickly green gear. I think I would have spray painted it white to match the other ones (unless of course there's a significant reason why it should stand out)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/30/2011 12:10:39 AM
Well composed, one of the better ones.
