Overall, very nice and lightyears ahead of what I could do. My reactions: 1st one there is glare on hers and background looks kind of muted. Watches almost look uncomfortable the way they are positioned. Would be cool to see them intertwined some how or at least touching. 2nd one. Perfect love the colors and reflection. be nice to see them both tilted a little to the right. 3rd...love the background image and placement of the watch, but again...seems muted. Doesn't "pop" enough maybe if the rolex logo was a different color?

Thanks for the feedback. The "muted" effect your seeing is probobly due to the application of the lighting filter I used in Photoshop. Actually, what you've got here are three different photos that were sub-par to begin with, and I used various PS techniques to spruce them up for entertainment value, but not neccessarily good shots. Here's a couple of examples of my better work:

Wow, those are fantastic... The photos... the watches are very nice also, but your photos really 'make' the watches.
I really like photos of watches and the internal workings of clocks.
All these are truly top notch, thanks for sharing them...

You're very welcome - and thanks for your kind words. I've been doing watch photography for a lot of years. :D

i really like the sea-dweller on the beach, but i kind of wish you had set it perpindicular to the horizon, any chance you have one of that?

Actually, that photo is with the watch sitting on the edge of a pool. :eek:

The Submariner in the "ebony and ivory" photo is owned by a good friend...otherwise the rest are samples from my collection. Here's a few more examples:

All are extraordinarily good photographs. Jewelry and watches are quite difficult to photograph well, but it seems you have it down. :) Excellent work.
