I'd like to see more of the clock, it's almost impossible to tell what it is without the title. The crop seems a little close as well. Great motion shot.

I *think* I know what you were going for here, but I'm afraid the execution (so to speak) could have been much better. It's all basically a blurred blob... which I guess describes many of us at that hour of the day :)

needed a lillte more light (see rikki's hammer image in too early) to pull this effect off. Also - check to see if you have a WB (white balance) setting on your camera, to aleviate some of that orange tinge.

Nice idea but the blur is too much for my liking - tough to recognise.

I see what you were trying to do, but it's too fuzzy.

a photograph with blurr makes the viewers eye frustating. its a turn off to the buyer when there is no composition or anything to say " thats what im looking for"
this photograph needs work and touch and a miracle

Abstract confusion is a powerful matter to shape. I love this sortt of thing. 10

Without the title, I would not have been able to figure out what was being photographed. This is a matter of personal taste, but for me, I need something for my eye to rest on and I can't find anything here.

What is it?

It looks like you are shaking the alarm clock but it is very hard to see. The highlight really pulls my eye to it and with the rest of the picture being so dark it's what I end up staring at.

I would like this better if the clock was in focus.

I know the feeling. Unfortunately nothing at all is in focus. This scene could be signifcantly improved by bringing the table and clock in focus, in sharp relief to the blurred, moving fist. The overexposure on the top on the clock is also very distracting. Alas - it took some effort to make out the subject at all.

took me a minute to figure out what the image was (didnt read the title first)

Very nice concept. I think it would be more powerful if we could see the face of the clock. Good color and motion effect.
