Used 7 items to create a clock showing the theme. I dont know how it will be received by voters - but surely worth a try.

Greetings from the critique club :)

Now this I like, I don´t love it but if I had voted in the challenge you would probably have gotten a 7 from me. It´s very different and takes a little time to get, wich I personally think is a good thing. However, that is probably what cost you dearly in regards to the score, I think on average the DPC voter spends about 1-2 seconds in viewing each image before voting and I guess most people did not get it.

I am not totally surprised cause I suspect pretty much nobody got that you used 7 pieces to create the clock, I know I didn´t till I read your description of the photo. I think that you should have kept the minute dial on exactly the 12 o´clock position so the hour dial would have shown the time as exactly 7, having it 5 minutes past (or was it supposed to be 7 minutes past?) is just confusing me and I suspect a lot of other people.

Anyway, think the score can mostly be written off on people who use any and every opportunity to find fault in meeting the challenge and voted accordingly. Maybe I am too pessimistic but people like that seem to grow more common here at DPC. At least take comfort in that 17 of the voters really liked your shot and I am not surprised, had I voted they would have been 18.

To get a better score from me though you would have needed to skip that t-shirt or whatever the model was wearing. Also maybe stand up more straight to get a better perspective on the neck, preferrably showing the spine a little bit, at least the angle the photo is shot from makes the model seem a bit hunched over if you get my drift. I like that you made the shot duotone, I don´t think it would have appealed nearly as much to me had it been in color.

Nice work, keep it up!

Kind regards from Iceland, Lárus.

I think it is supposed to be showing 7:00 but I had to look at it a long time to see it. The image just doesn't work for me maybe because it is on the back instead of on the face or the belly. It is an interesting concept, but somehow just didn't work.

Very interesting idea, However, the image is very sparse. Maybe a closer crop, or a different angle.

CLEVER. Great idea and title. I think I would have not had the shirt visible and OOF. Your imagination rocks.

An interesting take on the challenge. Should've been seven seconds too, perhaps? In any event, good focus on the important bits.
