It makes me remember of Alice in Wonderland, don't know why ;p
Very nice shot Yitzhak. The fact that the clocks show different times add to the effect.

A fasinating shot, Yitzhak. When I saw the thumbnail, I thought of Alfred Hitchcock movies! Interesting composition. Well framed and well seen.

It does look like an old time movie poster - I see Andrew had a similar idea. Very originally framed, as usual, and I like your choice of b&w, Yitzhak.

Well done anyway

Creative shot and post work Yitzhak, surely makes an impression of some old Holywood movie, around 1915...

Simply excellent, Yitzhak. The high contrast is very effective; and the variations in the styles of clockface is a real bonus.

Great pic Yitzhak. Great in B&W.

Fantastic composition and excellent overall feeling...B&W fits perfect here...Very well done Yitzhak!

Interesting shot. The BW works very well here. The framing is also very appropriate.

Nice B&W picture Yitzhak! I like the contrast between white clock and black background. The position of clocks is very interesting. Nice work...

What type of film you use, colour or B&W ?

oh what a classic..the bw here works so well. it's like a art that belongs on the wall. Get this printed.

Excellent B&W shot, well detailled and well framed. A nie addition to the 'In the shadow' theme. Well seen.

Good busy composition of just one type of object. The use of heavy black areas to melt all the watches together into one large lump o'watches is clever. I guess that by the rules the white haloes in the grey areas along the black edges is bad technique, but I like the effect anyway.

Graphiquement très intéressant! Le haut contraste noir/blanc est très bien choisi! Seule critique quelque peu moins positive : je me demande pourquoi le petit cadrage - filet blanc interne - ne touche pas les éléments de la photo sur la droite et en bas, tel qu'il le fait sur gauche et en haut... j'aurai aussi nettoyé le petit point blanc au quasi tiers gauche supérieur... il est un peu perdu et ressemble à une poussière... mais tout cela n'est que du détail et n'enlève rien à l'intérêt que donne votre image! Bravo!

Tout ceci est un travail d'horloger.
C'est un travail excellent cette image en N/B est très belle.
L'idée est bonne bravo.
PS= Il se fait tard quelle heure est t'il Yitzhak...;-)))

This is a great pattern picture. A bit to dark on my screen but very intresting. I really like patterns like this. The crop with the 3 almost centered watches and the rest being cropped works really good.

joseelias (367) 2004-01-06 4:55

Very well seen and excelent crop! The choice of BW and high contrast works perfecltly creating a fantasy image!

BTW, congratulations for the 2000+!

This is such an interesting photo Yitzhak. All the different sorts of clocks make for a wonderfull composition. Very original.

allotfy (1525) 2004-01-06 12:27

Perfect frame and very nice using the B&W ..well done

flossekakken (71) 2004-01-06 17:45

This looks a lot like the monument in front of Gare Saint Lazare in Paris. Photo of photo? Or coincidence?

dsidwell (9745) 2004-01-06 18:21

I like the old look you've given this image from the grain and blocky clarity. Nice choices and good rules to break this time round!

frankfort41 (0) 2004-01-09 8:06

Didn't know we have this in Holland. Very good photo, good composition!

Eagle78 (1925) 2004-01-13 6:47

Unusual and very interesting composition. Your b&W choice was good and reducing the brightness bring us more of the clocks and less of the background which could be distracting

erthmuffin (1501) 2004-07-29 17:51

this looks so unreal. great job with the contrast/brightness. love the frame, really makes it work.

Isaperez (355) 2004-08-08 17:03

Very interesting,this photo!Maybe you should change the name to "TIME"? :)

SylFondacci (4085) 2004-09-10 5:17
