This is so weird looking, almost like a cartoon! Very imaginative and well done Susan. CJ

As you removed the shadowing on the white, you also made the clock seem to float in space. Some shadowing seems to be necessary to anchor the clock to the "ground". Alternatively, and I think that may be even better, you could just crop off the white at the bottom of the frame - and let the blood red run all the way to the bottom edge...

Nico, First let me say that it is great too see my shots through others eyes! Sometimes I don't notice things that others do. It is one shot on a white background but the background had some shadowing so I replaced the background with a white canvas. Is it noisy because of the texture of the glove compared to the rest of the image or the way the edges of the glove look against the white background?? I tried again filling in the glove to omit the texture but I am not really sure I like it.http://www.pbase.com/suzppc/image/110623092 All that being said....Thank you for helping me see something I did not.

Oh, yes, very punchy and to the point (no pun intended.)

Love the simplicity and the bold red colour. Perhaps too noisy on the glove, so it does not completely convince as being "one image". But it certainly gets the message across.

Well done! Regards Nico

Susan--what a great imagination you have!!! Right down to the gloved hand, which is really noticeable in a simple composition such as this. I love it! shu
