What an incredible idea for that challenge. Great job. I'm trying to make all these comments funny because it's YOU but I had to give an honest comment for this one.
The lighting is good - could be a bit brighter, perhaps - and the focus is spot on, but the composition is a little strange to me. It seems very haphazardly placed in the frame.
Different angle then most of the other watch/clock pictures in this challenge. Good focus, lighting and DOF. If you had actually taken this photo that close to deadline I don't think you could have uploaded it quick enough to make it LOL, but original slant on the watch/clock photos. Good luck, well done
What happens at midnight? Do you turn into a pumpkin? It is nice but my eye keeps getting pulled away by the fuzzy band on the left. A different crop might have helped.
I like the idea, and you have captured the clock hands well. I would prefer to see more of the face and bezel in focus, with the strap, as you have shown, bluring into the distance.
