Time is free, but it's priceless

My first shot for my Get Pushed challenge by Chris @chris_mcewan to photograph something "mechanical". I have lots of nature shots in my album so I've sort of incorporated the two here :)

This is an old watch of my husband's, when we took the back off we could see the case is all 9ct gold. I wound it and it still works! That's Swiss quality for you.

Won Get-Pushed 86 and Finalist for Six Word Story #6
@chris_mcewan Hi Chris, is this cheating? Lol. Seems I can't get away from nature. I will in my next one! Thanks for the challenge, I'm really enjoying trying to come up with something different!

This is such a magical shot! Love the gold against the soft background. Lovely :) x
March 11th, 2014  
Great for the challenge. Really handsome timepiece and looks so artsy with the bokeh background. Fav.

This is an absolutely gorgeous photo, so creative and uniquely composed. Since you said you combined nature with mechanical in this shot, am I correct in assuming that's a plant tendril holding the watch? Can't wait to show this photo to my husband who declined to allow me to take the back off his watch so I could photograph the gears for "G" in my alphabetic macro project. :)

Thanks so much for coming by to see my Ink Spot pic and sharing such a nice compliment on it. Appreciate that greatly.

@lyndemc Haha, this is an old watch, but I didn't cause any damage. Yes, that is a tendril from a passionfruit vine :) Thanks for your lovely words!
March 11th, 2014

Super combo Sheralee. Great dof and focus too. Oh yes, Swiss time keeping really works ! ;-)
March 11th, 2014  
Sheralee this is a great image, focus just perfect. fav.
I can't view it large, you need to alter the size (resolution around 100 - 130)
March 11th, 2014  
I love that you've managed to incorporate your style of photography into this shot. The light is beautiful and the natural background is a lovely contrast to the mechanical watch.
March 11th, 2014  
@dannydavies Danny I think it might be because of the portrait orientation. The file is 4MB and resolution is 300ppi.
March 11th, 2014  
Fabulous macro. Very cool to see the inside of a watch!
March 11th, 2014  
Lovely - great detail and tones. And wonderful bokeh. Well done! Fav

Gorgeous shot, congratulations on winning the get pushed challenge!

FAVed! This is fabulous. It is very much in the style of Arefin, who I was glad to see, rejoined the 365ers yesterday after a 2 month break. I think that a lot of us were influenced by him.
April 21st, 2014  
@julieco Yes, he probably influenced this photo too Julie, I do love his style. Thank you!
April 21st, 2014  
Love your set up. The sift living curl with the beautiful precision of the watch. So pretty.
