This is an old clock and a close-up of his lock (it have to be rotated by a key to give energy to the mainstream), one of his pointers and his mark.
Edition: Desaturated all the colors except yellow which i saturated and it is the original color of the lock and the other part close to the numbers. Levels. A lot of dodge&burn to get it white like this and some clone-out at black spots too, because it looked really dusty. Add border and saved it. Quite some time since my last submission, i hope you like it even with the obvious problems with the yellow and the white spots. I'm not happy with these problems but i felt like i had to submmit this.

First Impression: Is that it seems oddly framed. It feels to me as though there are 3, or at least 2 main subjects competing for my attention.
Composition: As stated it seems to have competing focal points, perhaps lowering the f-stop to throw focus on just one area and blur the rest may suit this shot better. I also do not care for the crop on the bottom right. Maybe leave more of the subject in or none of it.
Lighting: Seems pretty decent. Perhaps a bit more diffused light would soften the slight glare on the right side.
For the Challenge: I think this meets the challenge well. It is a macro shot and It isn’t easy to tell what it is of so great job there. It finished probably right around where it should, I think most voters thought it was a good shot but just lacked a wow factor. It just wasn’t memorable. If I had voted on this I would likely have voted it a 5 or 6.
Overall this shot was done ok and has some good and bad technical issues. Keep up the work and keep experimenting and have fun.
