I like what you're going for but the first image needs more details in the shadows.

I think the clock is pretty cool, though maybe a bit better if it wasn't front and center. Try a different composition maybe.

Thanks for turtle, i really appreciated for your comments. how can i make more details in the shadow,( 1st pic), do i need a flash for that?

A flash wouldn't help in that situation due to the distance and size of the subject. With the harshness of the light on the front I'm not sure of a good way to get the proper exposure on both sides. Maybe on a less bright day or time of day.

You can try to brighten up that side through PS (photoshop) but I'm not sure how well it would look.

I would also like to point out that I'm a photography student and therefore not an expert. Hopefully someone with more experience will pipe in and teach us both more.

Thanks a lot turtle, let's improve together
