Half Past Nine

Comment:
I agree with the under-rated aspect. It's a work of art with the tip of the hour hand and number 9 in focus and standing apart from the rest of the image. The colors are rich and the shadows are excellent.

I gave you a 9 and it's already in my favorites.

Edit typos...

Altiphobia from the 9th Floor
by _eug

Comment:
Many people commented on the "correct" name of the phobia being ACROphobia. The Phobia List gives 4 names for fear of heights. I chose ALTOphobia, however I misspelled it as ALTIphobia. Here are the 4 names as listed on the Phobia List -- the site listed in the challenge description:

Acrophobia - Fear of heights.
Altophobia - Fear of heights.
Batophobia - Fear of heights or being close to high buildings.
Hypsiphobia - Fear of heights.

Similar phobias
Aeroacrophobia - Fear of open high places.
Catapedaphobia - Fear of jumping from high and low places.

I actually spent about 2.4-3 hours out in 40 degree (F) weather that day trying to find a tall structure that I could shoot from that top of. I was tempted to pay a visit to the manager of a downtown hotel and request some time on his roof, but I'm not much of a people person.

Wow. First submission 7th with a 6.5! Thank you all! And thanks for the comments.

Very nice composition. Many have included writings in their compositions, but yours is original compared to the rest.
