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.

Great subject. A little more work in Shadow/Highlight could be better to give more volume to the face.

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.

Wow, the perspective in this keeps me wondering, lets you stay looking at the image for more then a second. Good job, textures and colors. Lighting is about as good as it could be, but a slight crop to the left and a bit of levels work in photoshop would have made this a 8/10... My final score is 7
