good joke and nice shot, although i think the bottle is almost too cropped out of the picture.

Hi Annida...

This is definitely an interesting submission for the "Time" challenge. It's also a good macro photo. When I first saw this shot, I thought I may be looking at a reflection of one watch on a mirrored surface of another watch. So this watch that you photographed is abstract in itself without help :)

I think you made a wise choice for a square composition here. Circular subjects seem to work best in a square frame to keep from having too much irrelevant space in the image.

Visually, there are a few issues with the photo that don't tweak my interest. The lighting seems to be slightly rough. Some of the highlight areas are a little harsh for my personal taste. I'm not sure what you were using for a light source in this one, but some diffusion could possibly help. I don't have your exposure information available here to use, but, in general, I would assume that you set this up on a tripod to eliminate camera shake and get a good solid and sharp image?

Keep up the good work! The new camera is a great improvement :)

Very cool, I just shot some pics of my friends Harley this weekend. Love the desaturation except for the great blue color.

Meeting the Challenge: Very well done. It might well have been named eyes of rage, and seemed to be taken that way by some of the commenters.

Composition: I like the way you cropped this photo in a non-traditional format which intensified your subject. The drawing on the left eye (as I view it) also helps keep it from being boring by being too symmetrical. B/W makes the image even more dramatic. I liked the veins in the eyes showing to add to the intensity of the feeling.

Technical Quality: Good, although I would have liked to have seen more dof, as the focus is pretty intense on the nose bridge and softens up a lot at the eyes. The white specks are a little distracting in the forehead to me and the dark specks below the eyes, also.

Creativity: Excellent on this respect, very original idea, really liked it.

Overall, I think this photo was a little under-scored in the challenge, but it seems a lot of really nice photos end up below 5.5 lately. I would have at least given it a six, and without the specks and a little more focus likely at least an 8.

Hope this was helpful, let me know if you have any questions. Kandice

This has a very oil painting look to it. Unusual colors but nice earthy tones.
