To me it seems a little too "tossed together"... a little too random, even though there are numerous clocks involved. The railing that runs vertically along the right hand side is also a bit distracting.

Greetings from the critique club.

Composition: It seems to me that you have two subjects fighting for attention. Of course the chihuahua is the main subject but the REALLY BRIGHT sign distracts me from the dog.

Technical: The entire shot is out of focus. I think you would have been better off if you either used a tripod or a faster shutter speed and maybe overexpose it a bit.

Overall: I think this would have done much better if the shot was brighter and you got rid of the sign.

The flash is very noticeable in the top right hand clock and the beam on the right I would have cropped out. But otherwise a good idea.

All the clocks make this a pretty busy shot, and my eye can't really figure out where to settle. Maybe just one of them would have been better.

Comment by wingy:
The exposure seems too dark (especially on the upper right hand clock) and needs more contrast. Your center clock, because it is asymetrical itself, seems to throw off the balance of the shot (which I think is vital to this shot). The door frame on the right side should have been avoided. It seems the shot is also tilted to the left. The idea had some potential but the shot needs a lot of technical work. Good luck. 3

I understand the 'rhythm' idea you were going for here, but the photograph doesn't really show the 'repeating pattern' idea... the contrast also seems to be just a bit weak... - setzler

All the pendulums--except one--are swinging in the same direction.This kind of breaks the rhythm.

I'm not quite sure how this meets the perspective challenge. We're seeing the world from the dog's perspective? I guess that works. The reflections are a nice touch, but unofortunately there is nothing sharp enough or with a high enough impact to tie the photo together. The sign comes the closest, but it's blurred. If there was more light on the dog or something, it may have worked.

A cool idea, don't know how well it illustrates the challenge, and the double exposure look of the background images doesn't help this photo out.
