I wish that more of the clock were in focus, and that the motion blurr stood out a bit more. As is, it's not really obvious enough to stand out at us as the main part of the photo. Also, the numbers on the clock being a bit oof bother me a bit.
The angle and framing/cropping are good. I like how you centered the clock, but also like how you took the shot from a little bit of a 'from above' angle. This gives it a bit of visual appeal.
I'm not really sure about the reflections in the clock. The one on the right bell looks like a reflection of the photographer, and it looks like the photographer is holding the camera, or at least touching it. If this is true, had you set the camera down on something to avoid any camera shake, the actual clock could have turned out a bit sharper.
I think that this fits nicely into the Sound challenge and portrays it very well.

| Nice shot! The ring is fairly apparent, but perhaps a bit closer to the bells would help us see this motion blur better. |

| i would have liked the focus/attention to have been more on the bell portion, its hard to see the motion blur at first with this composition. |

| It's a pity someone did almost this same shot. I opined there that a different background or a brass tone to the clock would have made the ringing more obvious, but you have a similar problem -- darker background for this one might have made it stand out more. Anyhow, it IS on topic, and it's a nice shot, very clean, but the clapper is a little TOO blurry -- maybe a slightly shorter exposure time? |

| Awesome shot of the clock! Too bad you couldn't bring out the motion of the "hammer" hitting the bells more, but very good anyway! |

| I'm not sure whether or not I like the fact that I can see your reflection at the top of the alarm clock, but I like the shadow and the whole tone of the photo. |

| The lighting is perfect. It takes a second here though to see that the clock is ringing right now. Perhaps a macro of just the bells and the clapper? Anyway, 7. |
