returning for comments;
A great idea with good use of sepia and attire very befitting, however, the effect failed to materialize in a convincing manner. Bumping to 6 for good composition.
A classic beauty. The sepia lends to your interpretation of the challenge. With the trail o the watch was more defined, it's lost against the light background. Perhaps a shorter exposure with only half the arc recorded stopping the pocket watch in mid-air? Use of frame was probably necessary, this one is a bit heavy-handed though.
I rarely comment on a person's choice of borders because I can usually look past them to judge the photo on its own merits. However, this thick frame keeps distracting me from what I think might be a very good photo. I would have rated it higher without the frame.
