Last-minute entry (well, last 1 hour 43 minute entry). Time was purely coincidental, and according to the EXIF data it was 7:15:49. Tried to blur the background a bit but ended up blurring parts of the watch too--oh, well. Incidentally no conversion to BW was used. Adding a border is a bit odd for a photo like this, but I cropped a bit more after resizing and figured I'd use the extra pixel width. Hope this at least does better than my previous bug macro.

This was essentially a lighting exercise disguised as a product shot (product shots have borders, right?) Since it's a boring subject I probably wouldn't have entered it had the lighting not turned out like it did. Lighting was supplied by an IKEA table lamp.
