Very nice work! The 5 o'clock shadow concept here is definitely a good idea... I didn't even need to see the title of this shot to catch that :) The photo execution is GREAT and the composition is nice as well.. I'm looking at how you applied the rule of thirds with the clock... It's leaving a little blank space on the right side of the frame. I wonder if a little tighter crop would be better? I'm not sure... great shot! = 9

Beautiful clock, and well photographed, good composition. Also like the title. For a shadow challenge, I wish the shadow was a little more pronounced. Still, I like the shot.

Very nice photo. Yes there is a shadow but it seems so secondary to the subject.

Wonderful still. (stopped the motion of the second hand perfectly!) Less light sources or main light source further back would have made a more distinct shadow. Light flare at 10 O'Clock. I would have liked a cleaner reflection on the other side of the watch, between 2 and 3 (see the dark matter?) This shot reminds me of a previous winner, but it was a super clean set up, probably in a studio. Seems like I picked on this quite a bit, but I really like it. Keep up the good work!

Very crisp macro shot. I love pocket watches, and your presentation of this one is excellent. Nice clean background and a very simple and tasteful arrangement. However, I see two shadows and neither is well defined, otherwise a very nice photo.
