good attempt.. but it's a basic attempt.. Technically.. the photo is nice and sharp.. and great care had been taken for the hour and minute hand to move to a "V" shape.. 7 for the attempt

you know I don''t know the movie so I don't knaw if this shot was in the movie, but it feels alittle bit like a snapshot. I'll hold off voting on this one, and you can PM me if it was a scene from the movie.

I'm not wold about the crop. I think if you're going to center the clock, perhaps a square crop would work better. It could be a little sharper, too.

The composition is too centered for my taste... it doesnt keep your interest much. I would maybe capture it vertically with some platform and people on it.

Good black and white image. I find the cracked looking platform sign over to the left a bit distracting, mabe a tighter crop on the clock to a slightly different angle would be nice.
