Thanks in advance.

Great job on the lighting and graduated BG..watch stands out nice.
My immediate reaction however was how there is no depth - it is too 2D without getting any of the back of the watchband.

great comment, thanks!!

I'm drawn to the reflection which unfortunately takes me out of frame at bottom. Maybe a different surface would avoid that, though it has potential charm too. Not suggesting changing the subject/"horizon" placement - the work nicely and emphasise the classy gradation. Perhaps experiment with having the right end down a little more, so it's less effort to look at the face - as someone who likes watches (and owns too many), it's ultimately the face that I want to see, and I don't want to bend my neck too much sideways to do it. From that perspective, the image works well given the old 90 degrees, clockwise of course.

Cheers,
Tony

The edge of the table is way distracting to me. All the lil reflections of it in each element of the band. I want to look and see what is in the reflection, rather than pay attention to the product which is what should be the center of interest.

Finally, one without 10 & 2!
