What a beautifully done portrait sitting!!!! Wonderfully emotive. I honestly don't feel that there is a strong connection for me to the challenge, but just my opinion.

old watch in new colors - forget about time

Beautfiul, clean abstract and terrific sense of composition IMO. I feel that the effect looks like the result of post-editing, and I would personally consider this more digital "art" than photography, but just my personal opinion.

like swiftly moving water

I really love the movement and tone captured in this image. It looks like it was perhaps a result of thinking about the Impressionistic theme we have been seeing. Great hob. I do have to admit that I don't feel a very strong connection to the passing of time, however.

Fascinating image, and the type of image I had orignally wished to do for this challenge - but didn't have the skill. I can't say it is a photo I find interesting enough to "hang on the wall" as a composition, but for the challenge, it is a perfect study of our passing in time.

This is such an exceptional and well done photo, that I hope you don't get scored down for one, being a "flower" picture, and two, for a slightly less obvious time connection. I hope my fears are all wrong and that you get the extremely high score you deserve on this. One of my favorites.

I just can't help but love this image and its title. There are many great clock and watch photos in this challenge, but this is one of the few truly fresh and engaging to me.

Mother and Daughter

This image hit me right between the eyes. These two hands truly look like the past and present versions of the same hand, or of mother and daughter. Being adopted (I have often wondered "whose" hands I have, etc.) and having gone through some of my own memories for this challenge, this "evidence" of the continuance of life, and possibly mother/daughter, really gave this work a lot of meaning for me. Well done, and great lighting and composition also.

Tree carving..Graffiti from another generation

Haunting image and leaves you ready to ponder your own passing of years. The first time I saw this, I think I missed the year. After going through my own "memory box" for this challenge, I think of the person coming back to this tree and running his/her fingers over that carving made so many years ago. Perfect DOF used to really give the imapct required for this image. Great work.

Excellent detail and lighting, but I don't see anything that connects to the challenge for me (took the hair a long time to grow?), and it also isn't particularly engaging as a composition.

Simply perfect in conception and execution. The eyes are tack sharp, also - really giving it the impact it should.
