Description
...We grow and change.I've had this one in mind for a while... but I wasn't quite sure what to use for the dynamic part of the picture - the part that changes as time goes by. I originally considered using a dead plant, but decided it was a little morbid. Then I saw this sunflower plant, and used it. It was tough to get the picture I wanted though, because I couldn't find my 18-55mm lens (photographer's nightmare), so I was stuck with this lens. I think it worked out for the better, though. OK, enough about how this was taken...
Setup info:
Tripod-Mounted Pentax K10D, Pentax 50-200mm lens, minor edits in PSE6.

Every time I see this pic in my favs, I like it even more! I'm not so good with words, but I would have to say this is fantabulous! I love the shadow effect and it seems the picture is trying to tell a story.

the first thing i noticed was the warm atmosphere. it felt good... homey and classic. the simple, smooth form of the subject makes me think of early growth which fits nicely with the theme and reference to time. btw, i think the five long hands due to your 5 second exposure is pure genius.

i kinda like the old antique feeling to the over all colouring of the picture..and how it kinda makes you feel like your watching an old victorian clock tick while your thinking

Wow that's a pretty vivid way of putting it... thanks

The image is absolutely beautiful and the subject matter hits the spot for me as I enjoy collecting and fixing clocks. Unfortunately, the watermark severely damages the effectiveness and emotion that could be portrayed. Perhaps you will reconsider using a watermark that doesn't disrespect you and your own work so much in future projects.

Thank you!
Collecting and fixing clocks sounds like it would be pretty interesting... do you have any in your gallery?
Yes, watermarks do that, but I think it's better to put them. And thanks, I might reconsider my watermark...

The watermark absolutely ruins the image.
I wish people would stop using these things, especially so bluntly.

Yes, it does detract from the photo, sometimes quite a bit.
I hate watermarking all my photos (it can take forever too), but until the world is a nice and honest place, I'll do it.

Well, fair enough, I guess.
Just don't wait up for the world to be nice and honest. If anything, freedom of information is increasing, and though it might seem like an annoying trend as an artist who's art is being used and exploited, I think that as a whole it's definitely a good thing.
Good work, anyway

I wolud like to see it squared,
but great photo & concept anyway, it should get thousands of 
Trying to hold on, but didn’t even know...

Hmm squared would be neat... aspect ratios have a big effect on photos sometime. Maybe I should study up on that sometime...
Thanks!
And "In the End" didn't inspire this picture at all, but I guess you can get a relation there...

"Watch the time go right out the window"...
Awesome concept well implemented.
Just thought it would awesome if you had writing behind (where the actual water marks are) in that style. Like profound words maybe even something in Latin, a poem about time perhaps.

"In the End" is a great song
And that's a great idea... I'll have to do that if I come up with another conceptual picture like this one.
Thanks
