Good detail on the lighter. The flame itself seems a little over exposed, but it is most certainly hard to get both with the correct exposure. There are some cool colors going on in the middle.

COMPOSITION
The composition of this is simple, but effective, I think. It is composed tight enough that there is not a lot of wasted background space, adn it is clear what the subject of the photograph is.

TECHNIQUE
The focus here is very good. Great detail in the texture, especially on the side of the face. The lighting is a bit harsh, I think, causing some of it to almost blow out. the black adn white works well to give it a feeling of notalgia, but did you try sepia tones. That may have warmed it up a little bit.

OVERALL EFFECT
Though I saw the connection to time clearly, I suspect some voters may not have. This is a very good picture technically, and I like how you have shown the effect of time more than just a watch or numers. Good work and best to you in future challenges.

A bit bright/light for me, but I really enjoy this idea and the lines and patterns you've created and captured here. Engaging and interesting.

Such an eye catching shot. Although the balance seems to be thrown to the left a bit since there is not tree on the right and the top line flows to the left, I can appreciate that this was probably not possible to get perfect. You'll be getting a high vote from me none the less.
