Back in Time.

[colin C]

I had an idea and Stan helped me out with his Tutorial from Gin in a Spin and this is the result.

Is it OK, if not, what can I do to improve it?

Re: Back in Time.

I too like this Colin👍👍
I'm not sure about it requiring any improvement. However I think that there are a number of options you could try but...only if you have time on your hands😜
So two options for consideration providing the options are actually possible:-

What about having the spiral tail starting on the centre of the minute/hour hands.

or having all of the dial background in view.

Having said all that why fix something that isn't broken

Fab colin, if i have to say something then i would suggest trying to start in the middle and try a wider curve. I am not sure if would look better than this, its only my thought.

You have beaten me ST EOS on posting it we must have been typing at the same time

Very nice and different Colin i like that a lot, I tend to agree with the suggestion of having the spiral of watches dissapear down the centre of the second hand dial may be an improvement, I wouldn't change the starting point of the top watch as I feel that is in the right place.

I am guessing that to do that you would have to rework the layers with slightly different offsets to adjust the spiral.

I also owe Stan a thank you for posting the Gin in a Spin shot as it gave me an idea that did very well in a recent club competition and club battle.

Is it OK... It's superb! What a great idea and supremely well executed... I was working on a 'time' related image yesterday and just couldn't get what I wanted... C'est la vie...

Improve???... The only thought that crossed my mind, which may well not be practical with the software used, was for each of the images to have the minute hand re-set by one minute going backwards; subtle, and a great deal of work, but I think it would really give the image the final punch... Regardless, I think this is an absolute stunner... Excellent job...

Nice Colin.
I might of started from the centre of the clock face in the background but besides that, it's a cracking image.

Colin for me that is much better very nice indeed

Re: Back in Time.

Agreed, it was brilliant before and now brillianter!

Re: Back in Time.

Thanks everyone.

It took all morning to rework it and place every watch where it needed to be and so many attempts didn't work, but the end result was worth it.

Version2 is an absolute stunner Colin
