1st B&W C&C.

Hello there!

To be honest, I don't really like it that much. The table is tilted, the spots in the wall don't look good and are distracting to me, you could have played a little with a different perspective and composition than "frontal centered". Besides, what's the idea/message you want to transmit with the picture? Otherwise, it's just a uniteresting snapshot from an old clock in b&w.

Please don't take it wrong. You asked for C&C, so I'm being honest with what I see and feel about the picture. I could be wrong, since it's a matter of taste.

This is most likely in a location you have easy access to... So you could go back and think of better compositions, adding some perspective, take the subject off-center, maybe use a different background and create a nice bokeh. It will probably be a good exercise and you're lucky the subject won't go anywhere :mrgreen: :thumbup:

Regards,

too plain and flat and centered.

This is more grey than black and white. I don't know now you did the shot (in camera or PP), but the black and white point needs to be higher to get rid of the dull grey.

Also, crooked and uninspired. Try different angles, maybe have something out of focus in the background to give more context.

Maybe just me... But the clock face doesn't look "white" (kinda grey-ish) ... Maybe that is how it is supposed tobe... But I expected it to be white... Fix the white ballance and contrast before converting to grayscale....

But that's just what I see...

Most analog clocks are photographed at 10:10:00, not 9:59:40
