For this contest everyone who has the word “circle” in their title is getting a lower score. This is a copy and paste version that I am including in every photo that I downgrade due to the title. We as members of DPchallenge know the topic of the challenge – we do not need to reread the topic every time we reach a photo. If circle is in the title and it is appropriate I will most likely not down grade, but it better be good. I am sorry if you do not agree with my method of protest – but scores are all I have.
As this is a staged set-up for the shot, a nicer background would of helped. Perhaps a nice solid color so it is not so distracting. Otherwise, good composition and lighting.
I like the idea, and the lighting is good, but the background is quite a bit distracting and the watch hands could have been seperated and set to something with a little more meaning.
