hello again,

i didnt see your initial shot of this one... so i cannot judge that.

i personally think it would be better ifn you had smoke rolling out of the barrel of the gun behind the watch. that would be more indicative of an actual shooting in my opinion. with the watch would have given time of the shot...... time of death.

This looks like a drawing, the colors are a little strange but I kind of like the idea.

Composition/subject - Have to say I like the composition of the first one better as far as uniqueness (though it did take a minute to see it!) but the overall composition of this works just fine, too.

Technical - I like the contrast of the "shiny" watch against the "matte" of the gun surface, but would prefer the whole watch face in focus. I'm not sure why you used several flashes and a long exposure - to avoid glare, maybe? Dark background is OK since it has a diff texture than the gun and in a way almost conceals it, which to me relates back to the original a bit.

Meets challenge - Yep, and I like that you tried a different take on it, too.

My opinion - I gave it a 6 in voting. Have to admit I didn't know what the original was, but I think the score here is actually better despite being lower simply due to a "shift" in voting and competition since your first one was entered. I'm not all that fond of guns, or how frequently they seem to appear in pictures here, but I try to not let that influence my impression of a picture.

Comment by Dr.Confuser:
In a photo like this (IMO) the focus works best if it's brilliantly sharp. The edge of the watch closest to the camera is just outside the DOF region of perfect focus. Better (again IMO) if the part you see most clearly were what was in perfect focus. Also, the handgun and backgrown are nearly equally dark and thus blend into one another. Better (IMO) to bring up the brightness of the background just a bit to provide clearer context.

I still like it. Wish you could have made it more orange instead of pink. :)
