I really like this one. It definitely grabbed me right off. I really don't have any suggestion for improvement. Framing/cropping is excellent, as well as exposure.

Time Passing was a challenge that I suggested to DPChallenge. Your picture perfeclty reflects what I wanted the challenge to convey. A lot of entries to this challenge depicted 'passing time' which is completely different.

I felt this should have done better but well done - keep 'e, coming!

Regardless of the placing and 21 is good, this is a great image and it foretells more great things coming from you. Good work.

I was going to try this idea for my entry. didn't in the end as I thought I would fail to make a decent shot out of it. You have excelled. This is a great entry and hits the challenge on the head for me.

I like the idea. But I needed to read the caption to recognize the hourglass. A 9 for me.

heh, I was recently trying to take a shot like this, though not for this challenge. I think you pulled it off well, and I think the macro nature of it makes it stand out much more than including more of the glass. Nice job!

Lovely close-up. It seems it could be a tad more symmetrical and perhaps have a crisper line somewhere.

Best of show in my opinion. Color, comp, focus, DOF, shutter speed are all superb. Even the border is okay and I usually hate borders. Hope it ribbons.

Without the title, I wouldn't have know what this was right away. The image is very feminine, and the line is graceful and beautiful. The artist does an outstanding job of capturing the of the movement of the sand and the steady march of time. Creative and risky. Bravo.

Interseting composition. I would have prefered a shorter shutter speed to try and capture more of the structure of the sand.

I like the abstractness. This is very predictable, but also very effective. 9.

Love the lines in this one! Captured the "moment" without pushing it!

Cool shot! It´s got quite a "magical" feel to it, like I am looking at something otherworldly for lack of a better word.

Awesome shot! Good luck!

When I know what it is, it looks great... Don't think I could have worked out what it was without a title though ;)

Nice abstract like. Good concept, setup and colors. Cloning out some spots and a larger DOF could help to get a more "clean" and sharp picture .

Creative, I like the perspective, and the framing.
