This is an interesting photo because of the contention I feel between the light of clock in the foreground and the height of the clock behind. It’s a battle of the timepieces, I suppose.
What I find most fascinating, though is that you’ve managed to capture two clocks, impressive in each of their own right, that by their very nature draw attention to themselves, while neither says the same time as the other! Which do we believe?
And, I won’t go into this, but the question of which of these clocks to believe references photography itself, right? Do I believe this photo? Is this real or is it somehow manipulated by the lens? Just a few thoughts I had while studying this photo. Good one, Ellen! Keeps me thinking.
Love the contrast of the stark white clockface and the azure blue sky, as night is about to fall. And how about the clock tower and the white clock leaning in toward each other – are they synchronizing with each other?
Love the strength and simplicity of the leaning clock towers showered against the rich blue sky. Who cares if their times are discordant? They reach out in harmony!
The “Fifth Avenue Clock” is so alive and to me represents the PRESENT. The clock in the background is fading into the PAST as dusk surrounds it. The shot makes me feel like you have captured the movement of time using the clocks to represent “NOW” and “THEN.”
This is such an interesting shot. With the clocks and the angles, it makes me think of Surrealism meets Dada. The intense color just adds to the drama.
“It’s about time”
Time for day
Time for night
Time for darkness
Time for light
In NYC, all times feel right!
Very cool shot!
Time for Blue skies and Spring!

Love this! Almost supernatural with the massive clock, and I like the subtle and unlit second clock. What can’t you capture at dusk!?

A portrait in indigo! Really captures what it feels like at the end of a winter day. Lovely 🙂
