Tempus fugit

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Not sure on this one Trevor. I like it's simplicity but something is telling me that there is too much to this shot. I think it is the bottom LHS corner being a bit brighter than the rest of the image.

It is a nice looking time piece though!

I like it.

Simplicity, and it suits the black and white treatment.

I had a water proof watch once. I never saw a drop of water come out of it! :? :? :?
Did you stop the watch for the shot? The second hand seems sharp ergo small f/stop = slow shutter normally blurrs the second hand.

I thought of another reason - one that Professor Julius Sumner Miller (were he still alive!) would be proud of.

This particular second hand is very small, so the end point is not moving as quickly as it would if the second hand reached right out to the edge of the dial as you sometimes see.

I like the shot and the watch ;) When shooting watches you've got to be careful with the position of the hands, though. I bet this one would look much nicer at 23 past 7 or so, when the hour hand doesn't obscure the seconds dial.

Cheers
Steffen.
