I really like this, i am no expert, but the clarity of the watch and combined with the patterns and colours of the background makes a great combination, well done 10 from me, the best i've seen so far. Puts my entry to shame!!
I've now voted on every submission, and i still think yours is the best, theres some really good entries but this stands out. Congratulations, if you don't get at least top ten... (preferably first) i'll be arguing!
