Something about this I like but the DOF/focus needs to be sharper across the whole image.

Superb b&w shot. Light reflections and shadows on the hand and the watch gives incredible interest to the shot. The great contrast in the background help to make the subject pop out of the picture. The great focus gives a clear view of the fingerprints off the fingers.
The vivid lighting on the watch really shows the details in the watch.

An outstanding image. I think the lines would have been enough to carry the idea without any color. It is a kick to get to the bottom and see the blue triangle. I just don't like the blues in the glass of water. A wonderful 10. Hope this one wins.

Fantastic, superb use of light and shadow, here creating a 'noir' look. Use of blinds and an old pocket watch, along with high contrast and much sharpness have worked well in creating this feel. Brilliant composition. My only criticism is that you need a model with better looking fingernails. 10

I would have rated this higher if the crop was tighter... just showing hte Glass and glasses with that set of shadows.

The shadows going down the side (I'm assuming it's the side) is a little distracting for me.
