Happy to announce that "Inner Workings" tied for second place in the 3/3/2021 contest "Mechanism Details" held by the Electronics and Mechanics contest. Many thanks to the contest administrator, Michah Offman, and everyone who voted for my image. Congratulations to the other winners.
The glorious inner workings of a beautiful antique grandmother's clock as seen with its bonnet off. A fun straight-photography capture utilizing the photographic techniques of shallow dof (depth of field) for a combination of clarity in the background and a gentle blur in the foreground ... and slow shutter speed, which captures some of the motion of the wheels and cogs as time marches on.

We too have a grandmothers clock in our hallway! I knew I recognized the workings as soon as I saw them - ours looks identical :) F/V

Very well composed photograph. There's a message in there somewhere.

Hey Glenn, yeah ... well, to me there is. Reading left to right and top to bottom as we English-American types to ... in the beginning (top left) life is clear to us, things make sense ... we know where we're going. Then mid-life (middle of the image) ... the lines start to blur ... life and our goals becomes more unclear. At the end, bottom right, who knows what the heck is going on? We can no longer see (some of us literally, lol) ... and life itself is one big confusing blob. LOL. Or ... not ... ??
