wow - i'm surprised to have won, some excellent shots this weekend

i thought the colour theme went down well a few weekends ago, so may do something similar...keep your eyes open lol...
UPS: seconds. this is the shot i went for. at first i thought 'hmm, a watch...' then i noticed the second hand and how you'd captured the movement within a 6 second exposure and i realised how clever it was (i'm a bit slow sometimes...). great focus too, so well done.
DOWN: foot and inches. a clever idea, but to me this shot needed a bit more care when taking it. 1.8 seconds is a long time to try and hold a camera steady, especially at that angle. maybe try being in a brighter area or increasing your ISO next time (i see you already had a wide aperture). you could have perhaps have taken the shot sitting down too, and got a bit closer? i'm no expert, and these are of course just my humble opinions
