Question Missing something...What??

Time

I like this photo for the most part but I feel it could be better...any suggestions??

I used my Nikon D-50 1/30sm f/7.1, 95mm ISO 800, in post I used channel mixer to change color to back and white.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Wow! Hard to say...maybe concentrate on a specific area or another angle might do something for this...
but, it is nothing sort of interesting...

Yeah, looks like the picture may have been over sharpened, too. And it needs some kind of focal point. I like the idea of tossing a digital clock or watch with a big LED readout in there.

I think it needs more watches....LOL! No actually a digital clock with its red LED display showing would be a cool contrast and the only color to the photo.
I did the same thing with my watched all of them wrist watches except one pocket watch with a Blue face. The only color was the face. I was going to submit it for the time assignment mini contest bt I couldn't get it how i wanted it to be.
I think its a nice photo but very busy without a stand out focal point.
Maybe just throw one in there with some color and centered or something.
I see someone likes disney.....

epeyton@tampabay,

If you know anyone 90 or older who doesn't take good care of their skin, one of their hands (or both), holding or winding a watch would turn the subject into a more poignant image. Or with the Disney slant, handing a watch to a 3-5 year-old hand.
