 A watch with chain wrapped around an old rusted gear shaft with some matches thrown in for good luck. This is my second entry and I'm not sure if dark images are common,ie: rated high or low. Guess I'll see soon.

I used my zoom lens, so I guess the focus isn't as sharp as it should have been. Another problem ,I selected the bottom of the watch to focus on. Will try it again with wooden matches, coins and something male (a trainset) futher in the background.

focus is lost-- just a little bit on the SW-- I like the idea though-- so a 6

Got a watch, ...er match? Good composition, but you should have worked to get the matchbook and left side of the watch in focus.

Nice watch! And you've done great with the chain. I think the matches detract.

Nice composition. The shallow DoF pulls my eyes yo the bottom-right. I would be curious to see it with the whole clock surface in sharp focus.

Would like to see a wider dof (at least more of the watch)

Need more sharpness in the picture to really make the subjects pop out of the picture. The composition is fairly good and interesting.

The matches don't fit in this photo to me, I think it would be nicer with just the watch.

Why the matches? Were you trying to show scale?

This would be just about perfect for me without the matches. They (for me) don't add anything to the photo. The watch has perfect light, DOF and color tones. I really like that part of it a LOT :)
