I really wanted to shoot either a watch or golf ball for this challenge. After shooting the watch and golf ball I really liked the lighting better on this one. Its lit with two lights on eachside. Put the tee on a cardboard box, and used black board for backdrop. Took a few shots, and thought this one worked the best. Any constructive critisim would help. Thanks.

The shadows on the object make it interseting. But the background also being black makes it hard to see, it doesnt really stand out. Try a lighter background color, but not white as that would bled with your subject.
DOn't like the reflection of the studio light on the left side (it's ok on thr right because it landed in a dimple). But otherwise a good composition and idea
