My wife is 7 months pregnant and I love this photograph. But, this photograph belongs in the challenge like a beautifully composed poem belongs in a corporation's annual report. There are photo competitions on the internet that allow for submitting your best photo, however, I believe this site is prompting you to take shots that you wouldn't have otherwise by followin the description of the challenge. I hope this comment is constructive. If your photo finishes lower than you had hoped this might be the reason. Good luck.

I'm scorig you quite low for a few reasons. Please take these reasons as a representation of how to please or not please one voter (maybe more if I'm the only one willing to comment) One I have no idea what year you are portraying (by looking at the picture. Although you say "now" in your title, now is not a year and the hands on a clock have been around for a long time, which leads me to... Two, this clock is not something that would do well in a time capsule. It is like you are submitting a photograph to a corporate client hoping they will use your photo in their adds. They ask for a picture the distiguishes which a specific year. Would they select your photo over others. No.

Love everything about this picture except the grass as a background. I think it would have had more punch on cement, concrete, brick, etc. The green seems to be reflecting into the yellow paint effecting the purity of the color.

This is so close to being absolutely perfect. The crop pulls you in and the depth of field make me feel fine with not being able to see the entire car. So good job there. I notice your reflection. That to me is the only flaw. If only we could clone that out in an open challenge... Great shot!

This could be my favorite photo so far (after 150 votes or so), I wish you would have followed the challenge by naming your photo with a year.

Awesome. The posture and expression makes the shot. Can't make his way back into the house without finishing the article. PERFECT.

WOW. Doesn't look set up with a modern building in the background like many in this competition. This is just perfect. Best I've seen after 100 votes or so.

I've never seen one like that. Good choice in subject. Good depth of field.

I can't imagine this photo doing very well in this challenge. The filter apply to the image in post processing eliminates most of the detail that helps most of the voters determine the quality of the photo. Most of the people on this site seem to be photographers first and editors second. Therefore it is my predition that it won't do well. On a positive note... I really like the coloring!
