This is my high school graduation watch (1955) and is my first ever macro effort.
I cropped tightly, enhanced the saturation on the gold lettering, and added a blue tint using the levels adjustment.

I appreciated the feedback from people who observed that the area by the watch stem needed more work. I learned from that thanks. I was too quick, and too careless. However, I love the general end result.
Cool subject but the background is hosed. You shouldn't have tried to mess with it because it ruined the outline of the watch. And the blue is very extreme.
Something happening near the watch stem in the black; part of post processing?
Anyway I like the "blue steel" and clarity of the movements and jewels. Nice macro.
well i thought it was a scratch on my screen but it is a scratch on your image.. i guess this isn't the only time you will hear that. it looks like you could improve on your blackening your background... a 'feather' technique works well... i think it is over sharpened.
