Thanks again Steve for the editing tips! Id die without your help!
complaints:
1.) my seconds are even: Cant help it that clocks old
2.) over done: its new for me, I made it my own.
3.) you can see the reflection of my camera, yeah I think it looked cool in the weird crop. Plastic reflects.... couldnt get it to go away.
I like it. thats whats important to me.

This is doing way better then I expected!!!
The texture is a funny story so I thought I would share....
The clock was a gift i received 4 years ago when I started school for education. I was told I could hand it in my future classroom. It is a cheap plastic clock. It has been sitting in my utility room for 4 years. We replace the batteries as needed but it never gets cleaned.
When I thought of this I decided to use this clock... I was going to clean it but the camera reflection was already bad and I knew if it was bright and shiny it would be super bad, so I left it dusty and just cleaned the rim.
After I took the picture I upped the contrast on this and lowered the brightness and converted to sepia. It left with me this texture, color, pattern effect that I really really liked!! So I kept it!
After voting:
I was really hoping for my first ribbon but I am very stoked with 4th place! A new PB! wahooo!!!

Only just come across this photo - what a great entry for the challenge, creative, well taken, strong composition, and processing that adds to the image. Great work, and belated congratulations on the HM and PB.
Congrats on your PB. This is a great picture. You have gone far away from a few of us and set a standard for yourself now. Hope to see some more nice shots from you.
I do think this is a nice shot but I almost gave it a 1. I really do not see how it meets the challenge of containing 7 of the main subject. I am really surprised to see this as a top 5 when it just doesn't seem to meet the challenge, good shot or not.
eta: I did actually give you a 10, I just thought this would have been hit with the dnmc voters. either way well done.
Congrats on your HM This is a great shot. He helps me alot too. He thinks he's not so special but you and I both know he is. Very creative and imaginative idea.
Carrie, this is a fantastic image, I love the dust and the "not so new" look. You did a really good job here and you're right to be proud of your shot. Huge congrats on your HM.
Not a member [yet...] so I can't vote. Instead I'm clicking through the images and commenting on those that make me stop and look. This is one of those images.
Clever idea for the theme. I like the way depiction of the slightly irregular distances between seconds. Probably not something one would notice without the long shutter technique.
Is that a reflection of your camera?
I'd like to see a little more on the left to see the whole number 12.
It is realy only six seconds (the space between the ticks).
Almost a little to much stuff in the background.
After all that, let me repeat; I like this picture.
