To get the desired effect, I used a lightpainting method so to speak. I let the shutter stay open for an extended period of time in a pitch black room. I used a black cloth to cover the lens when I didnt want it to catch any light. This allowed me to change the times on the clock and move the clock around, to give that illusion that time was moving/passing.

returning for comments;
Attractive. I like the blue but not the cyan-green appearance as the numbers comes into definition. Regardless, the image has good movement and great balance. Bumping up to 6
Connection with challenge theme: strong, literal, abstract
Technical merits: Focused, sharp. Slightly overexposed. Some extraneous detail surrounding the digits detracts.
Artistic merits: Good cropping, and the blue luminescent motion trails add flair. You've taken a literal approach to the challenge theme with an abstract spin.
Overall: This is a rather interesting approach which works fairly well, but some points were taken for technical reasons as outlined above.
