 Last minute lightblub reminded me of our ugly 70's clock in the living room.
What an effort went into this one! I expect to be in the bottom ten ;)

i find it interesting that a lot of people complained about the 1. dust and 2. white balance

the dust was left intentionally, and the whitebalance altered to give the colouration that photos developed in the 70's have today.
Nostalgia, or something like it?

I like the relationship between the clock and the background. A little dusting on the clock would remove a few of the distractions

I'm going to score this low and figured I'd post why: bad lighting. The composition is alright but the lighting just kills it. I'm giving it a 2.

My, but isn't this godawful ugly! Even knowing that this was the photographer's intent it's hard to give this a really high score.

love the composition and colors. The glare is a little bright. But a good photo and a great clock!

Color balance or white balance seems a bit off? The clock looks more 50's or 60's.
