 The clock in the picture--which appears to no longer be functioning--is part of the facade of the mid-century modern architecture of the rural Austin County courthouse in downtown Bellville, Texas. Shot using a b/w film emulation mode on my smartphone.

I like your composition a lot - the clock theme and the strings reminds me of the movie "Back to Future"
I'd love to see more contrast in it - but with minimal it is what it is...

What might have bothered some voters are the slanted lines: the building seems to tilt forward. But I think that’s what really gives the photo its true charm—that wink, combined with the title you chose.
