Passing the time

Just filling in a gap from my NY week. Not entirely happy with this - I didn't crop so I could keep the clock in but I think maybe it's a mistake.

lots to see, but I can see why you're wondering about the crop

[Melanie Savage]

I quite like the people inthe background under the clock and the contrast of light! Personal taste I guess!

[Diana Moss]

The clock certainly fits the title, I like it left in the picture

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

I agree with Melanie, I like the people in the background who look busy and the clock is making a silent statement about people's use of time.

[Pat Knowles]

I like the clock it takes your eye down the street. New York has tall buildings so entirely in keeping. Love the b/w too. Wish we had seats like this tucked into the side of the street!

[Humphrey Hippo]

Glad you kept the clock, even at the edge of the frame.

[Phil Howcroft]

the clock works for me Juditth

[Jen Hudson]

I think the clock gives perspective to the time of day. it draws your eye to that part of the picture. The people sitting are nicely contrasted.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

I like the clock in it. Great street shot.

[bernadette mcelligott]

I like it, it shows the people in the harsh sunlight with time ticking by and the man in the shade taking it easy with no thought on time.

[Jane Pittenger]

Ditto Bernadette. I really light the lighting contrasts

[Peggy Sirk]

Fabulous street shot! Love the clock in the composition.

[Graham Harcombe]

It's balances the interest nicely the way that you have done it. I agree though for a better 'tonal range' you could have cropped out the bright light. It's fun here though on 365 :-)

[Barbara Paquette]

I like the clock...LUNCH time!!!

[Louise]

I like the picture as it is, I like that you can see other people sitting on benches further up the street and others stood up chatting. It all makes a relaxed scene, not what I thought NY was like.

[Mike]

Quite like the idea there are people just sitting around fiddling with phones, people watching and enjoying the sunshine...Cropping it would change the mood entirely...

[samantha]

I like it as is, although i think a crop would work too =)

[Joanna Payne]

Well I like it. With that caption you automatically look at the clock and then diagonally through all those shades to the guy who is doing the 'passing'. Love it.
