 Andrew Marvell - 'To his Coy Mistress'
I tried to light the watch as indirectly as possible. I tried not to get any white spots. The problem is, the spots didn't care about what I wanted :)
The picture turned out quite dark because I intentionally used so little light. And I'm no good at postprocessing. Well, at least I can learn from you other photographers.
I don't know if I cropped it well either. I had the whole watch and part of the armring at first...

I wanted the pointers to be in the upper part of the image. I guess I should have thought about that while doing the setup...

The photo seems a bit flat due to lighting and underexposure. Try boosting the contrast in PP.

Familiar theme, but that's okay because the clock pictures are really neat looking. This one has an especially interesting look to it. Good job.

Nice macro. More light would show the details better.
