This image was taken at 02.12 AM at my home. The greenish background is a see-through plastic box-cover with a bright light under it, the subject is a wall-clock. The whole was photographed with a shuttertime of 2,73 sec, starting from nearby and ending above the subject. In PS I removed the dust and scratches and played with contrast-level.

CRITIQUE CLUB CRITIQUE
by karmat

Normally, I follow a set guideline for critiquing pictures, but it doesn't seem to work for this one. As a result, I am simply going to give you my impressions of the picture, and maybe something will be helpful.

The colors were the first thing I notices. I like the contrast of the warmer face of the clock, and the cooler greens/blues, etc. It kinda looks like a watercolor painting to me in a way. I also found it interesting that the face of the clock is barely discernable, yet the word "quartz" is very plain. As a result, that is where my eyes tended to rest. Unfortunately, it is at the very bottom of the frame, and then they tend to go right out of the picture.

I am not a huge fan of abstracts, though this one was interesting to me because the colors reminded me of the sky and the sun. I do think though, that many may have interpreted your extreme post processing as more of a cover for some inherent flaw in the picture, rather than just an attempt to be creative and avant garde.

Best wishes to you in future challenges.

Lovely, image. This one really takes me places and makes me want to keep looking at it. Nice use of color, grain and blur. They are all appropriate and skillfully used here.
