Should have put the clock in a refrigerator for a couple of min... would have drained the battery, but it would have gotten rid of the "2"

Now, I'll subtract whole 2 points for the monitor showing up in the photo. This monitor is the difference here between a photo and a snapshot. It is a pity that you went through the effort to think about the shot, set up everything, and in the end show us the monitor with some junk underneath ...5.

A little more detail inside could have made it better

Fits the challenge. There are too many distractions in this photo. A tighter crop on the clock would have done better in my opinion.

Comment by BobsterLobster:
Composition seems unimaginative, and I don't see why the top of the door on the right was cropped off. Well done for trying a slightly different angle though... ie near the floor. The shot doesn't really capture me though or make me interested in the scene.

If this picture were taken later in the evening, the outside and inside lighting would be more balanced and the inside detals would be clearer. A 6.

Comment by snackwells:
You have an interesting concept here. Couple of things could improve this picture. Shoot against a less busy background, perhaps stick a nice dark sheet of paper back there, or place the clock against a more subtle backdrop. Or you could have cropped out the Philips LCD and stand. Second issue is that the exposure is a bit high and the glare off the clock a bit strong, factors which could easily be corrected by using a different exposure setting (or softer lighting).
