 It's what the alarm clock sees just before it dies...

It was much more difficult than I thought it would be to take the picture and pose at the same time. Thank goodness for the wireless remote!

Once in the computer, I adjusted the levels, and then did some cloning on the top left of the frame to remove a shadow from something hanging there. After that, I resized to 640 x 427, then resized for the web.

It would be worth noting, that I placed a macro adapter on the end of the lens to take in more of the scene, and my enormous hand.

I love the idea of having this be from the clock's perspective. :-)

Okay so you're NOT a morning person then. Some days I feel that same way. Then again there are days when I don't even hear it.

The title isn't enough to overcome the fact that this is a picture of a hand. Doesn't say "morning" to me.
