Nice shot + reflection. Would love the shot some more if the face was slightly facing the lens just a bit more.....

I like it, currently the watch reflection is touching the bottom of the frame. Not being a product photographer I don't know the 'guidelines' about cutting off reflections but I like it when I look at the image with the reflection cropped in half instead of right where the reflection should end.

I like the image however to my eyes it seems like the watch is too close to the top of the image. I don't know if there is any way to change the angle to fix that and still maintain such lighting and reflection.

Overall looks OK; a few things that bother me, only one can't be fixed in PS:

1)Your reflection in the silver
2)The reflection is a little too long in the frame, adding a white gradient in PS will fix this
3)The image is WAY underexposed

if you turn on imageediting in your control panel i can post a edit i did that fixes all of thes except your reflection.
