A grandfather clock I was shooting essentially to check lighting for a portrait near the clock. While reviewing my shots, this one seemed to fit Textures II. It has been treated with, crop, USM, and tone curve.

Great texture subject, nice texture contrasts. Beautiful shot.

Wow, that is a beautiful clock! Pretty good job with the texture.

Nice exposure, but the hands of the clock could be at a more intresting angle. :)

A bit closer would show off the relief around the clock face better.

Why not a shot of just the clock, without so much of the surrounding cabinet? I think it would have more visual impact.

Some impression of the quality of these surfaces, though really quite an ordinary illustration of the clock face. Lacks that dynamic that comes from good lighting, from a less straightforward approach. Good exposure, and accurate colours and sense of the object itself, but the shot hasn't placed the emphasis on the textures really - would need more careful consideration of the affect of light on a surface in that area.

a bit snap shotty to me, like composition hasn't been though of much.

Too much to look at. Get in closer and choose a main subject to focus on would really improve this shot. A famous photographer's theory was that if his pictures looked too static, it was because he wasn't close enough.

perhaps a tighter shot would have captured the textures better

I like the textures on the clock and I think it's photographed well. Wish you'd have tightened the crop to leave out the hinged door.

I'd like to be closer to the clock face (your main subject, I assume) to get a better feel for the texture I sense is there

+ Lovely wooden colours and great textures in this clock.
- Too much sharpening is noticable and distracting.
