While this was shot in the time frame, there's nothing in the shot that suggests what time it is. It could have just as easily been shot during the day.

If this is what you were really looking at between 4 and 5am you might be working too hard, take a break.

Huh? I don't get this title. Are you saying the photo is not good? Why did you submit it then? Bad noise in this shot, you should try not to shoot at this ISO. Very uninspired composition. Why did you take this shot? What are you trying to communicate with it?

The clarity of this macro photo is well deserving of admiration. An excellent picture with a well chosen subject as compass. 9

Definitely as the title says. Very grainy and unfocused. I don't mean to criticise, since I'm a horrible photographer. I gave a 3 on this because of the whole quality of the composition. With of course a few points meeting the challenge. I don't think it fits the challenge very well at all. I just can't grasp the concept of it. I applaud for the effort though. The picture is a bit too dark as well. Sorry.

This may have been taken between 4:00 and 5:00 AM but there is nothing in the photo that relates to the spirit of the challenge.

DOF is a little of. The center wheel is a little fuzzy. Subject is also a little confusing.

Nope. It's a perfect macro. But it doesn't look like it was taken in the wee hours of the mornin' ;-) Good luck.

your title indicates that you are not happy with the result of the image- so i am curious as to why you entered (update addict?). I have to say, i agree with the title.
