You folks were so right about the background and fingernails and glare!

Thanks for all your comments and votes. I had fun doing this shot and learned that I've aged too much to be a hand model :)

I love the colors, but I find that I dont like the lack of color in the hand. 8

Nice and clear- the nails look kinda weird though, maybe a darker shade of nailpolish would have deepened the contrast there.

Very good - a few more shots might have yielded a bettter exposure of the watch face, earning this a 9+ from this voter

Ahh - the watch itself is superbly displayed and lit. The backgrould would be far better if it were a solid black - this one doesn't do it justice. Your model's fingernail colors don't help a bit. Even with the flaws mentioned - it's an excellent advertisement image.

Beautiful, and well composed.

Liking the techniques used here to desaturate the skin tones, although there are distracting blotches here and there. Also 7-10 o'clock on the watch appear 'smudged' which distracts.

the background doesn't go well here

Your desaturation left fuzzy bits of color throughout, nice try, though.

This is beautiful, but is this allowed in basic editing?

Good idea well executed. Background detracts a bit. Just slightly greater DOF to bring fingers into focus would help too.

Overall a good shot, Pity the numbers on the left are kinda fogged over and not sure about the colour of the hand especially the nails! Good background and overall clarity.

This could be... Not too crazy about the reflections on the gold, like the colors of the image... 8

Great composition..the watch on the diagonal works very well..superbly lit and very sharp..the desat has let you down a liittle as there is still some colour in the hands and on the nails..but overall the image works very well as an advertisement

This is a nice composition. I'm not sure if that background really works here, and I don't like the ends of the fingernails left in color.

Wow, what a beautiful shot. This could be an actual ad. I think a solid background might help the watch stand out more, but I like the photo as it is as well. Very nice job!

The watch looks good but the rest of the photo seems very odd in coloration
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/06/2004 08:43:02 PM
Ugh! I *HATE* the color of the background. But I like the idea and the watch is great-looking.
