A ridiculously late comment on this picture, but I can, so I will ;)

Beautiful detail, perfect focus and excellent lighting. Should have been in the top ten.

As an aside, it is compulsory to set the hands at ten minutes to two for watch pictures. It is the law you know :)

The detail is excellent, allowing one to quickly discern that the watch is a COUNTERFEIT BREITLING Bentley.

Excellent lighting. Cool looking watch.

Good overall detail. I would have suspended this beauty so as to get evn blur background all around it. Very nice. Bumping up.

Good shot and good clarity of watchface...I like the dof and color of fabric it is resting on.

I loe the watchhead, but for some reason, I'm not sure why, the background distracts me. Like I said, I don't know why, but it does. I'm still going to give you an 8, with probably bumping it to a nine later.

nice clean sharp image

i dont find that the fabric comments the watch (even though there is gold in the watch). Good job though!

Another beautiful watch. Great shot, I love the clarity here.

Beatiful image and watch. How do you tell what time it is? :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.

nice complimentary background color and great detail on the watch. the composition is a bit static being centered. more background and offsetting the subject might have been better.

Professional Looking

Good job managing the reflections, and it looks like you even desaturated the reflections in the watch (either that or you colorized the fabric), or your watch is so expensive that it only reflects in that nice silvery color. As far as the photo, it is very sharp, but the composition is a little stagnant with the watch being centered. I'll be utterly nit-picky and say that I wish the hands of the watch had a different orientation. By the way, how many years did you have to go to school to learn how to fully utilize this watch?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/29/2005 03:57:09 AM
nice image, only slight thing - try setting the time forward a few minutes such that the the hands are in a more balanced position - hope you do well :)

Very well taken. That watch is crystal clear! Really does make me want to go buy one. well done 10

What would the text have been if you had inserted it? I like the sharp focus.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/28/2005 06:23:40 PM
The watch is too centered. Would be nice if the band was stretching through the image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/28/2005 04:15:52 PM
Nice picture. I like the background you have used here. It compliments the watch brilliantly. Good control over the reflections too. I would have liked to see the watch srtap but definetley in my top 10 for this challenge. Good job

Great job with the reflections and good DOF
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/28/2005 04:57:31 AM
Nice time piece. Good lighting. Love the background color in contrast with the watch. Good use of DOF, watch is sharp. Composition a bit static however. Would have been good to see the watch bands since bands are really an integral part of watches of the caliber. I don't recall ever seeing a watch ad where the bands are not visible.

I can see this as an actual ad photo. I like the color of the background. Accentuates the gold in the watch.

04/26/2005 07:57:04 PM
Very clean & sharp image.
A little more band showing would have helped this out in my opinion, along with a slight angle to it perhaps? (Seems a bit too static) (6)

really like your choice of color on the background, very complimentary. Good crisp shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/26/2005 08:57:44 AM
This is really good! There is SO much detail in this watch, and your focus is sharp enough to read every single bit of it. Amazing! 10

04/26/2005 08:41:12 AM
nice and sharp..........if only the watch werent centered
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/26/2005 06:12:29 AM
I like the overall shot. Wish all of the back ground at the bottom of the watch had been out of focus.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/26/2005 04:00:21 AM
I like the clarity of the face, but there is something distracting about the background...I can't put my finger on it.

This is not a Breitling. Aside from that...excellent, sharp focus with nice clean processing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/25/2005 01:44:57 PM
Very well captured details. i see what you tried to do with the background color to complement the gold items on the watch, but to me it doesn't really work. Something in the silver or bluish tones might have made the watch stand ou more... I don't know. Also, the center composition seems to be missing something for me. Overall well done. Good luck!

Beautiful image, the lighting is wonderful, and the background really brings out the gold in the watch, would have rated a 10 if you had just smoothed out the tiny wrinkle to the left of the watch. Wonderful image. 9
