Wow - this is a great effort; I'm glad that I stumbled upon it! I really wanted to write a critique when I first saw this because there is so much potential here.
Firstly, I really enjoy the concept. It gives new meaning to the 'clock face.' I personally have not seen anyone using a model's face as a clock before.
I'm curious though, why are the numbers not drawn all the way around? I think they look awesome in terms of size, position, and penmanship (though the 12 looks like it should be drawn a bit higher on her forehead), but that it just stops at the 9 makes it look a little incomplete.
I also think it would be better if the model's hands were not blocking so much of her face or holding the clock hands in place. Perhaps something like eyelash adhesive (safe to use on skin) could be used to attach the clock hands to her face? I think it would add a lot to the surreality if the clock hands were left floating on their own and the model's hands were lower in or out of the frame.
That being said, my favorite part of this image is the color scheme. The browns are really beautiful and they make the model's green eye color really surprising and lovely. I also love the sharp focus on her face that gradually gets blurry toward the edges of the frame. Overall, I think it's a great conceptual photograph.

Hi! I re-posted your photo here, on my Tumblr blog, and of course credited you.
I think it's stunning, and I felt so moved by it, it evoked a strong association of words with me. I wanted to let you know that I shared it, in case you had any preferences for your work not being shared. Keep up the great work.

I must disagree with Asleeplikewolves when it comes to the hand blocking the face because it looks like she's trying to hide half of herself from the viewers. From what I got out of this image, time is running out on beauty and her looks. She may not feel beautiful in knowing that her years are creeping up on her.

also "stumbled" upon your photo - noticed the same features "asleeplikewolves" did -
and then it struck me - this is actually why I like the photo - it has a self-portrait quality to it,
which, for me, gives a feeling of intimacy. The texture of the jersey also contributes to this.

Beautiful display.
It shows the time within one's life. Or the fact time is within us in sitations and we able to control by choice.
Loved~
