*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*
An image with potential whose title fits the challenge.
Given the nature of the challenge the title is as much a part of the viewers interpretation and therefore the end result as the image itself, taking both into account here I feel you have not made the most of the opportunity. I may be wrong but it just doesn't feel as though much thought or effort has gone into it.
I assume your crooked placement of the clock is deliberate though I'm not sure what if any relevance it has to the effect you were after. So, we have a crooked clock against an out of focus background of what? Clutter? Again I can't make the background contribute to the end result. The clock itself is poorly lit with harsh shadows some of which are obscuring parts of the face. I like that its in mono but thats a purely personal thing.
I think to give your title more meaning that I would have put the clock round to its correct position against a sufficiently focused background of an empty bed with ruffled pillows signifying the friend who has disappeared or something along those lines.
Sorry I couldn't be more positive but thanks for your submission, Sid |
