I also like the blue color fade. Well done.

Follow up to Rod's comment. I guess the out of focus is because of the fact that there is a lens in the glass over 14. I don't know how one can overcome that. -Cat

A very powerful composition and well executed.

Thank you very much for the comments. I asked in the thread about how to change the BG and Olaf went out of his way to to teach me how to change it. Will try his suggestion(s). Thank you Olaf again.

Cat, the only problem having the date free of light reflection is the DOF. I would imagine the 14 being glare free would highlight the date being out of focus as it's almost where the the eye wants to go. Agree about the background colour.

aam, This is a nice compo. Good job. The fade and blue works hand in hand. Dark grey/black bg would be prefered, but does not harm. Something about the details though: I would like to see the date "14" more clearly. Its visible, but it has 2 light reflections of the lamp you used. One of them, the clear one is fine, but see if you can reshoot again and get rid of the other one. IMO. -Cat

Hello aam,

I like this shot. I like that you positioned the clock center towards the right third of the image. * Depending on what you wanted to show, a black background may make the watch leap at you.

The art of photography is patience amm:-)
The fade does make this shot interesting & dead on topic. Well done amm.
Herg has a Rolex copy he bought in Singapore, he swears it's not a copy as he paid $100 for it:-)
