This is a good composition with a cleaver title that would go straight over the heads of most members without your notes. I find it difficult to criticise digital and MM work but here goes - your pictures title should more correctly have been called 'occupo dimidium a dies'!
Thanks for your entry and the production notes, good luck in the comp. Carl.

Comments: Great piece of digital art. This is a little out of my comfort zone to review but here goes. I have no idea what how your title relates to the piece of artwork. I like the vibrant colors and the creativity creating the clock. I am glad you shared this with us.

    Carpe Diem means that you hold the time in your own hands, and you should enjoy the moment. Not live in the past or worry about the future. Thank you for a lovely review and high rating.

Unusual execution. Well conceived.You have used the freedom that digital technology offers to image-makers. You have created a digital image that at once appears captivating in its composition. Good effort

Very good mixed media presentation. Love the concept as it fits the contest very well. Very creative with hands around the clock and rays bursting out. I also like the bright colors. Well done and thanks for sharing.

Good initial impact. Good focus and lighting. The rays of light radiating from the timepiece are the center of interest. Good composition, cropping and framing. Good technique, technical skill and story telling potential. Creativity in title, presentation and and artist's notes.
