 My guess is it will end up in the mid fives. The lack of sharpness in the picture really is bugging me and can be credited to saving for web as well as a dusty glass lens covering the clock. The visible leather at the bottom will get me some low votes as well. Hopefully week one of the Golf Outing side challenge proves fruitful though!

Great shot, but that little starburst blow out is killing me! Overall I like it, and its one of the better clock shots in this challenge.

Nice use of your light, some may not like the blown sparkle to the left of the watch, but I like it, seems to add a little gleam to the watch.

Thankyou for doing 9:09 as opposed to the cliche 9:00. Nice shot

I like your choice of subject here. I have seen several mundane clock photos in this challenge thus far, but yours has a much higher level of interest and creativity. I would, however, like to see this with a better composition. As it is, if feels too centered and unbalance. Odd, I know, but that's what my mind is telling me. I think shooting with about a 20 degree counter-clockwise composition would have given this one a better flow. The imbalance between the chopped face cover on the left and the dead space on the bottom right corner is a bit too much for my eye to overcome. Nicely creative, but I'd like to see a bit better execution. This one scores a 6 from my vote.
