Challenge: Personified Smiles and Frowns (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon PowerShot SX1 IS
Location: Delray Beach, FL
Date: Jan 13, 2010
Aperture: f/4
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/8
Galleries: Black and White
Date Uploaded: Jan 13, 2010

 The face of an antique clock with a blue and white gradient map applied. The light and dark areas are inverted -- the black eyes are actually the reflection of some bright windows.

I know this is going to bomb, because voters don't like images that have been manipulated like this. And I expect some comments about noise. But it's not noise -- the clock is almost 300 years old, so it has a few scratches. But the clock makes me smile. I hope this image makes you smile too.

Is that a reflection in the watch? very clever. I find this shot interesting and bumped it up upon a second view, well done

Oh, this is very appealing! I love the blue and the script on the watch face makes this quite elegant. Great job on the building layer for the eyes. Very unusual and nicely done!
