A photo with many points of interest. First of all, that antique patina, which is given by the sobriety of the colors and obviously also by the context of the pharmacy window. In all this the use of a pocket watch is perfect. The look of the pharmacist, with his head slightly tilted, seems to want to ask us why it took us so long to go to him ...
Gorgeous is this photo on the theme of watches brought by a person. Let's say that the interpretation given by the author is a little atypical, but the image is striking for its imagination and its technique, in fact everything is perfect, from composition to shadows. Congratulations on your well-deserved award.

This photo is apparently with a main subject, the homeless who is asking for charity. But another figure, almost absent from the image, is actually a second decisive subject of the scene, the person who is passing by, to whom the homeless is silently asking. Of this person you can only see the clock, well done! The play of shadows and the red color of the panel are also excellent.

This photo is really well composed, and gives the strong impression that the decisive element of the scene is the clock. The method used to obtain this effect was to focus the watch and hand, leaving the subject's body and face further back, blurred. It is also interesting to have given the image a haze-like effect, which allows the gaze to concentrate effortlessly on the watch. Finally interesting the position of the face and the other hand.
What is appreciable of this photo, is the naturalness with which it was made, which gives the image a sensation of reality, documentary, which other images, although well constructed, cannot give. This lady, participating in the country fair, is probably tired and has just sat on the stool. The watch shows off itself, the only white part of the composition, but also interesting are the blue colors (of the chair and nails), complementary to the almost orange color of the skin.
