[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 334313, member: 1061"] Not bad. Product photography is tricky, and a good lighting setup can be extensive (and expensive). You don't have enough lighting here. There is a shadow on the watch face, which is a big no-no in watch photography. The face should be crystal clear, well-lit, yet free of reflections and shadows. It can be a difficult task. Speaking of the face...there's somewhat of an unspoken rule with watch photography regarding the time. They're usually photographed at 10:10, because it gives the illusion that the watch is "smiling" with the hands at 10 and 2. You can also typically avoid all watch logos with the hands in that position, but you don't have that issue here. I think you went a bit [I]too[/I] shallow with DoF. The pillow has some cool texture, but that detail is lost in half the frame and it looks a bit odd compared to the other half. It's a nice shot. The theme is nice and I really like the added texture of the pillow. Lighting this would be difficult by anyone's standards. [/QUOTE]
