This is such a neat idea and well realized image that I feel a little odd offering a criticism. I honestly think the DOF is a mistake here for a few reasons. One it reduces the scale of your image. These clocks need to be BIG and our friends efforts ineffectual. We are used to dof implying small and close since it is an optical/photographic effect. Two: you have placed your figure, an essential part of the action, out of the plane of focus. This doesn't make sense in a photographic or visual sense. Maybe this sounds a bit pedantic but I really like your work on this and other images and am trying to be helpful. Thanks for listening:) Ed
