Greetings from the on request Critique Club!

There is that focus problem. You meet the challenge in an obvious way here but there are a few other problems. Your editing made the image really grainy. Not sure if that was intentional or not, but with the textured wall it̢۪s too much for me. The background is the biggest downfall of the shot in my opinion. Too shiny, too much texture, and it simply draws too much attention away from your subject. As for the subject, I think the clock alone and a different title would have faired better.
I do like the shadow and that you composed it with the rule of thirds. More crisp and a different background and I̢۪d give you a 6.

Good luck and keep working on it. I̢۪m expecting you to have the top image for your camera here real soon.

Some seperation between the subject and the wall might give a nice effect. There seems to be either a focus, or camera motion issue here. Try a tripod, or bracing against something while taking pictures.

The compostion here is a little bland. I like the monotone, it really sets the mood of "still dark".

Just not very busy. The white background is wasted.

the back ground is kinda distracting..... look at the hotspot where your flash hit... your clock says you took the photograph at the time we're asking for but im not sure.... i think you put too much grain... if not the noise is too much.. too much shadows in the clock....
good job

This could have been a great shot, but I found the picture really blurry.

I think the noise takes away from this shot.

Not a bad idea, but the quality of the shot (grain and blurriness) make this less appealing for me personally.

Nice picture. Its a little out of focus but it works well I like how you placed it off center and a tad uneven, really drives your title home.
