The print has a black border and title text.

Hey congratulations on a good score. I think it shoulda done better. It's one of my faves. I love the old-timey feel. Very nostalgic and mood-evoking! Keep up the good work! -David

Could use rotation to the left. Good choice not to use color.

Well taken but needs more interest to hold the viewer

Very nice. I think I would prefer to see more of the stand below the clock, but I like the space used above the clock as well. I wonder how this would look zoomed out a bit. Good use of sepia tone and soft focus.

Interesting clock. Focus seems a little soft, perhaps?

I like the tones and soft focus here. If anyone tells you the focus is off, they are, in my mind, mistaking out of focus with "soft focus." I hope this image does well.

Very nice use of greyskale. To me the clock apears to be leaning to the right but this may be an optical illusion die to the background. Reflections in the left face slightly distracting as are the background windows.

Good shot. Monochrome works too

if you were allowed to do a little more editing, you could make that one look like it was 60 years old. very nice.

I really like the way you colored your photo to create the antique look to go with your subject. Nicely done!

Pretty unique. Sepia looks good. A litlle more focus would be good.
