This shot definitely deserved a ribbon of some sort. It was too perfect not to.

Thanks for all the comments on this photo. It *is* an 8 second long exposure. I got 9 ticks of the second hand because I opened the shutter between ticks... My primary objective with this photo was to see if I could produce something that would not score any ones. I failed.. lol.. I got very few negative comments this time and I'm very pleased with the results. I think the primary problem with this shot is that a few did not understand the transition.

There is no way this deserved any ones. You should have been in the top three.

The only thing I don't get is if this an eight second exposure how'd you get the little hand 9 times?

I love the simplicity of this shot.. I think it makes it stand out from the others. The idea is awsome as well.

Definitely a site for sore eyes, and a welcome "transition" for most of us!

nice idea, I think it would have worked better if the second hanbd had been captured away from the bigger hands so we could see more of it. Of course it wouldn't be on the dot of 5 then would it though.

Cool multiple exposure, wish my camera would do that. Did you try different angles for a more dynamic composition. Perhaps real low near the "5" with a wide angle lens would work to emphasize the hour in transition.
