Feb 24, 2013 11:36 | #1 I am running low on ideas on this cold wintery day. As a result, I lined up my watch to try a product-promotion style photo.   Swiss Legend Trimix by Gunner's Photography, on FlickrJ.Gunn - Macon, GA, USA

Feb 24, 2013 16:14 | #2 In this case I find the red pillow too distracting/overpowering from the watch. I think there is too much space on the right side of the image as well. (I really like the way the red on the left side of the watch looks though....darker than on the right side and not so overwhelming). Also, I think a slightly different angle would bring more dynamics to the picture. The watch being so squared in the image leaves it feeling a little static.

It usually allows the most watch dial to be seen as well as framing the watch manufacturer. I've seen it described as a 'smile' and may be one of those subliminal things.

Feb 25, 2013 17:28 | #5 Thanks for the feedback. I am interested in hearing more suggestions as well, as I enjoy trying to figure out how to get the most out of the cold days.  Swiss Legend Trimix by Gunner's Photography, on Flickr Swiss Legend Trimix by Gunner's Photography, on FlickrEDIT: I found it very difficult to find a good position for the hands due to all the sub-dials, logos, etc on the face. Then, with the crown out to keep the watch stationary, I was not able to get the canteen cover back in place. I got frustrated and just let the hands do what they would. J.Gunn - Macon, GA, USA

It does not always work especially in a style of watch like yours. The subdials may still be partially blocked.
