100% guaranted non spot edited. I used a glass of water and a picture of a clock underneath it. Then a white balance was set that blued the whole image. The ripples were made by blowing air on the surface. I had this idea when I was having a drink of water and saw the ripples that formed when my breathing hit the surface. Since the glass was a perfect round I wanted to make a joke about the roundness of the clock being distorted in the round ripples of water. The ripples of time come out of it. Kinda trippy, I admit.

I'm sure by now you've gotten the focus comment, so I'll save it. I do like your idea though, and I think with a clearer clock it would have been extremely effective.

counter clock wise about a degree would have worked to bring this togetther for me. the fact that it appears to be shot through the bottom of a glass helps me to accept the lack of focus on the watch. I love the colors

Really like it. It's got movement and colour. You made a quite ordinary object really dynamic. Nice work!

Did you shoot this through the bottom of a glass? .....it's neat, neat idea however this was done. Creative idea.

I know that it's intentional, but the focusing puts me off somewhat. I do feel drawn into the center, however.

nice idea, but the clock is moved a little bit.

I like the concept and the title. The clock is a little blurry, but I don't think it's a major problem anyway.
