Technical: Fits the challenge, slightly different take on a very common theme. Exposure composition focus and lighting all good, the blur lends to the mood.
Yes it is. I like the idea behind the shot but the shot itself leaves me really wanting. The blurriness of the clock face is very distracting and the blow out of the light on the left is almost blinding. I can see and would accept the motion blur of the pendelum but not the rest of the clock. The coloration on the right is also off to me, should be white all the way across. A 3
It is an idea to have the clock off center, but that is still too much white space on the right. Perhaps it you had something in the space that related to the title - someone rushing off to work? Wish the clock were sharper.
Although the position of the clock works well (composition-wise), the picture does not appear to be in focus (either that or your lens is quite bad wide open).
