I love the idea of a spiral clock over a background. Hope you'll use it against other BGs also.

Excellent composition. To me, this evokes the idea that as more time passes the faster it seems to slip by. Very intriguing.

WOW. Normaly my work and my hobbies don't go together, but this is great. I design high end cabinets and use this design in many ways. This picture is a perfect example of a "Golden Mean Rectangle Spiral" This is a great shot... you took a great idea and applied it well on a normal subject.

Wonderful result -- for me it symbolises the speeding up of time -- especially as you get older -- and the longer you are on flickr, the less time there seems to be.
