Nice work with light but I think that image is lacking detail, I had to read the title to finally recognize what's there
Samarth: thanks andriy...the only reson why i didnt highlightmoreof the watch is because of the noise,ihave to stillmaster taking shots in the dark...

A little too dark I think. It's hard to focus on that one open spot. I think if tit had a little more light, it would be a really excellent shot.
Samarth: thanks pj,like itold andriy,toomuch light = tons of noise....i still havetomaster taking shots in the dark properly...

a 1 second exposure,so the blur is too much dont you think,maybe if u popped up the iso a little it would help,the noise would add to this kind of image as well...
nice composition though
Samarth: ah,i did not know that people would like noise, i was readyto goup to 800 if it werent for the noise...
I am happy again Sam, this is more like you. I like everything about it , tone, blur, DOF... whether by accident or design, the position of the hands and the triangular highlight is a masterstroke. Well done ma man.
Samarth: glad ulike itsomuch alistair...the triangular lighting was intentional but i was ratherfortunate to have shot it at 9.47,,,

So it was 9:47 and i thought it was 01:08 - doesn't matter. Still a nice idea to experiment with, this watch in semi-darkness.
Samarth: thanks a lot louis..

i like the idea but would have preferred a little more crispness to the image.
Samarth: thanks david...need a stronger tripod next time...

Did you use a tripod? Why is it soo blurry? Love the idea of the shot though, works well just the slight nigle of the blurriness, but I can forgive you for that cause it's such a good shot neverthe less smile
Samarth: ty suby....ypu, free cheap tripod was unable to support the weight of the g7...

Were you up late again last night? This reminds me of my first alarm clock with an obnoxious bell that I loved as a kid. I'd probably throw it across the room now. The more I look at this shot, the more merit it has. This was lit to create such interest. Most of the hour symbols only a slight mark in time. We could use this as a metaphor for life. Make more than just a few hours of our day count. We get 24 a day, how many of them are noted by only a scarce mark?
Samarth: thanks micki....thats really deep...i guess we never really do appreciate all the time we have...
Nice concept.
Samarth: thanks sarthak..

I think it's a bit flat due to being too dark. Nice idea though, keep trying.
Samarth: thanks laurie...i think if i made the lighting a bit more mellow, the 3d-ness would come out...
mmhhh... the time in the darkness..really nice Sam!
Samarth: thanks a ot nicola...

Interesting, all sorts of thoughts .. time fading?

I think it's a clever shot that's fine just as it is.
Samarth: thanks for that ellie...
Very powerful!! A reminder of things that need to be done, probably ur best abstract. Little more crisp would have been nice, however i don't really care as the image has done its job. Thanks for the plug mate, have a great weekend!!
Samarth: Thanks a lot Ashish...hopefully i will develop steadier hands...

Good use of light.
Nice title.
7.75/10
Samarth: thanks anchit...ive been playing around with lighting effects for a bit now....
Samarth I blow so hot and cold with you. I am assuming it is because you experiment so much, which you know I respect you for. I love this, a perfect example of where less is more. I love the use of the negative space. A simple shot that is so effective. Now over to the next photo...which I have already had a glimpse of! Phil
Samarth: thanks phil...the only reason i experiment so much is because i think each shot should be treated differently as it is different....
