HEY!
First off... this photo doesn't really make me think time. The watch does help, but it's really a zebra shot that would be better if you hadn't put your arm in the way. Lots of dpc voters are really strict on meeting the challenge so I'd say that hurt you some.
Secondly, what really strikes me here is the bright lighting. It's just not good shooting conditions unless you could get that animal in the shade. Otherwise, I guess you just need less exposure to prevent those white-out areas, but then you'll have even more of those dark shadows like you have on the forehead. Focus and color are good.
Composition isn't the best. The eye and watch are lined up and right in the middle of the frame. The diagonal of the animal's head and the arm help some, but the horizon in the background looks really slanted.
I've had those weeks when I'm off taking other shots and just enter a challenge picture to participate. I love zebras, and I'd say you probably got some good shots without the watch which is more important anyway ;P |

| Great detail; very nice focus. Must say it's a bit cheesy, though :-) |

| Nice idea, but the man's arm wearing the watch really takes away the feeling and mood of the image. It seems out of place. |

| Very good picture! Color is great! Focus is intensely nice. Challenge-wise - the wrist watch seems to me to be either forced or incidental, challenge met, but not at the high end of that scale. Originally scored this a 7, but the quality is high enough to go an 8, even if the "time" is forced. Rob the Swash |

| You just went to the zoo this week and saw an opportunity, right? Because I've never heard of 'zebra time'... Okay so it's a bit contrived but nonetheless a very good close-up of an unusual subject - in a way it's a pity you had to put your hand in the way to include the 'time'! Nice pic, not very well themed though 7. |
