Too bad about the dust spots, but no spot editing allowed. Shot from below because it was high up. Cropped just a little bit, rotated, adjusted levels, USM, save for web.

I like the glow created by the backlighting in this shot. As you say too bad you couldn't have removed the dust spots. The composition may have been stronger if the axis of the clock had fallen on intersecting 1/3 lines in the top left. Just a thought.
Nice clean photo. I like the way the second hand is lit up with the bright part of the background. I take it that has a light inside the body of the clock? Cool
Great shot - the circle is not the only element of the composition, but is the main element and the focal point. The harsh lighting works well for me in this shot. - 8 - JeB
