Comments: You are going to have to take a cyber 6.0 because I am all out of the real things. I really enjoyed this piece of work and I am going to make it one of my favorites. I review somewhere between 30-50 pieces of art each day 5 days a week. I have fewer favorites than the days I have reviewed. That means that this art is very special to me. It struck a strong emotion in my being. I know the feeling of running against time. You can never win. I am starting to take time for myself. FAR is one of those things. If you can't guess I really like this work. I can't think of a thing to change except next time give time a little more room to roam on the right. Great Job and thanks for sharing.

What a super idea, and your execution is wonderful..you created a super sense of movement, and the feel of rushing is so well done that it makes my heart race! The composition adds so much to the overall feel. Donkeyoatey

A very interesting photograph. I like the distortion of the clock and the fade-away of the person chasing time. The "First Place" ribbon confused me until I read your Author Note. Then I thought - what about a finish line ribbon being broken by the running time?

Great job!

    Hi Jsweeney, I thought about adding a finish line, but in one way the race never ends. THe first place ribbon just suggests this is a race no one can win. Time's first place ribbon is given in default. He already knows he's won before the race begins. Thanks for bringing the subject up. I enjoy sharing thoughts with other artists. :o) Hopes this helps in expaining what I wanted to show. I'm glad you thought this was interesting. Thank you for reviewing! :o) Helvi

    That makes sense. I guess in the long run we'll die first, eh?

Very nice idea. I would have left the clock a little more looking like a clock but the idea is nice and well executed. :)

Facinating imagery, well executed, though I feel "Time is running away with me" would be a more appropriate title, albeit the meanings are pretty much the same. Nice work!
