Greets from the Critique Club!

Initial Impression:
Interesting composition, colors seem a bit off, focus seems soft.

Challenge:
Meets the challenge fine

Composition/Creativity:
This is the strongest point of this photo in my opinion. The angle that you shot this at is very interesting... Diagonals tend to make pictures seem more dynamic and it does just that in this picture. My only problem is the tree.. It clutters the view. I would prefer to just see the clock and the clouds! I think it would have give the photo a cleaner look and much more visual impact!

Technical/Post processing:
The exposure is good in my opinion. Some may say the sky is a bit underexposed, but that just serves to frame the clock, good job. For some reason this photo feels fuzzy to me, I think an unsharpen-mask would have sharpened things up and removed that minor irritation.

Overall:
An interesting photo, good eye! If it was clean and simple, it would have had more of the "wow" factor.. Keep up the good work!

Heh, leaves a lot to the imagination. This shot could have been improved by letting us know more precisely what happened to her. I'm a stickler for stuff like that! :) NORTY shot!

you have a good idea here, but the lighting needs to be brighter, and something needs to be in focus.

Nice rustic look, with just the right amount of grain.

Critique: because its so out of focus this detracts from the overall quality quite a bit
Praise: great subject matter, good composition and use of multiple textures (wood and metals). I really like these old time images.

I think the focus should of been sharper for this shot to show more detail. I do like the idea. Good going.

Great group of working material you've got there. Good focus, good lighting, I don't like your brown frame, it mixes in too much with the picture itself, but the black looks nice. Good idea for the challenge.

Interesting, but a bit soft.
