At first I took this photo very much "tongue in cheek", after reading forum discussion (e.g. calling for DQ if not exactly TWO seconds; how can voters tell it really WAS a 2" exposure etc), but then I actually liked the outcome.
The background is scrunched up blue cellophane, lit from the side with a small flashlight.
Cropped, curves, saturation. Some minor cloning of hot spots on the background. Resize, sharpen (very small amount),save for web.
"Why ISO 400", you ask? Because I was too busy paying attention to the 2 second exposure to check the ISO setting.
Changed setting, tried again, but it didn't really make any difference so I just kept this one.
Now I'll pray that there won't be another 200 watch faces in this challenge.
