Great catch! Probably even greater if you pumped up the colors more by saturation or levels (it probably looks good in your computer though).

Thanks to Zagam for the apraissals and be sure I did learn a lot.

Please see my new shot of the same Bulova I put on my porfolio where I did try to get all the suggestions.

The light came from the sun light and I shooted at 10:20 am. Camera was automatically way.

THANKS AGAIN

Greetings from the Critique Club.

Thank you for entering the DPChallenge, Jewelry Advertisment.

Great capture. The choice of the watch and the rock creates a great appeal for your product. The light and dark tones also create an atmosphere of interest and uniqueness. The darker area's was a great place to the place the text. The entire photo scene almost feels like its near the beach, or a body of water. Your use of the frame and space, to position your watch is good. Your typeface, or font selection also gives the product a lot of class and value.

You have done an excellent job composing and photographing this ad.
Technically there are only some minor comments to make. One is the focal point of the watch. There is some blurrness in the center of the watch. The brand name "Bulova" is not "camera ready" sharp. The product name should be as clear as possible. Also the calendar date feature is also out of focus. There is a minor distraction on the left side of the watch face. Sort of a green color cast. This takes away from the silver coloring/material of the watch. There is also a shadow on the upper half of the watch's face which creates some distraction.

I am sure that you have notice newspaper and magazine watch ads. They set the watch to 10:10. The reason is be able to showcase all of the watch's features at a glance.

Like I said your typeface is an excellent choice. The title however probably does not need a ..! at the end. Bulova watches are very classic, elegant, and have very traditional style. The exclamation point is a cause for uneeded attention. Probably just ending it with three ... dots, would have suffice. You might get a difference of opinion here, but that is generally the advertising and marketing approach.

Just curious did you use a flash? Looking at the shutter speed of 1/500, I was wondering what light source you used?

Overall an excellent and well composed shot for the challenge.

Good luck in your next DPChallenge. Zagman.

To get 47 comments and suggestions from all of you in my picture is for me more than to get a ribbon. Thanks again and I fell this time was a school in my introduction into the photography world.

As soon I saw the shadow in the top of the front clock and the focus a bit out, it was a challenge fot me to get a better shot; and here is the result. What do you thing?

THANKS TO EVERY BODY
