 Ok, I believe any one who didn't get up at this time shoud be DQ, but that is the way it goes.
This shot wasn't easy, the bright white clocks light to the rest of the lighting was tough to get a good exposure without blowing the clock. If had done it again, I'd try a ND fiter, also would had brought my flash and had someone walking up the path.
So I guess this challenge did what I'm looking for, to increase my ability to take shots in tough lighting situations.....

It seems you have chosen a faculty building as your subject. A wise choice. 8

The clock looks like it is just hanging in thin air, this image is really lovely.

Nice exposure. I tried something like this, and stuggled not to get my bright spots to bright while retaining some background detail. Good job.
