I like the point of view and the way you've framed the subject matter there. The shallow depth of field is pretty good as well, though I do feel that it is quite unfocused.. where it should be focused? It's a bit blurry, I suppose.

The colours are lovely, though. I like how warm it is overall and how there is a contrast there between the gold and the purplish tone in the background.

Perhaps you could have moved the camera more to the right.. but it's pretty good as it is there. :nod:

I do wish I could see more of the watch face, though.. maybe.

No, I completely agree. To be honest, I had to convince myself to put it up, and I know it's not the best. The thing is that I took this with an extension tube and had a complete lack of aperature control. It's not fantastic, and makes me really, really want a macro lens.

Thanks for taking the time to comment, ^3wyl, I really appreciate it :tighthug:

I suppose I could try that technique I once saw, where you take a billion photos the same way with the focus in a different spot and then render them together for a more in-focus subject?

Oh right, I see. I understand where you're coming from now. An extension tube can be quite tricky to work with sometimes.

You could.. it sounds like it'll take a lot of time, though. :hmm:
