excellent shot.........and a nice watch.........whoever it belongs to wears it hard.

if you are gooing to shoot shiny objects author, you ned to choose your angle of shot more carefully............your reflection is very prominent in this shot.

I have been waiting to see a shot like this, excellent work, superb lighting and detail.....and I knew it would come from you my friend............

good capture, although a little oof......

nice take on the theme, and a great photo too............

good effort, pity about the fish being oof....

goos shot, very difficult to see the subject here, perhaps the shot is a little too close.

nice pic, but I don't follow the concept.

nice work, you just need to take the crease out of the table linen......lol

if this is marcasite, it should be showing a dark grey or black. the colors are too strong here

..........excellent capture.............well done.

great capture.......and a great composition.

yeh, nice rock, well captured. could just use a little more light to liven the stone up

fabulous macro, well done.

beautiful creature......nicely shot.

excellent capture.........I like the expression showed here....

good effort, but too out of focus for me..sorry. I know what you were trying to achieve!

cello!

nice shooting, just a little bright on the left side..........

superb work............

looks like a couple of old cameras in the basket next to it!

nice .........er.......sax...............

ok, just wondered because of the highly polished brass, and the caps!

superb shot...........great angle. lighting and dof, well done.

nice shot..........playing with the lighting might have lost the shadows underneat the watch............

nice 'life' shot, but it is a little oof!....pity!

a little dark, and could use a little contrast adjustment!

is this a salvation army band?

what is the yellow beam

Dollmommy, I think you may be right...........

this could do with being straightened........

lol............oh dear

ah, okay.

how and why!

too small to see...............

agree with jawsh.......not an effect!

I agree, a little contrast, and maybe even reduce the light levels a little.

a good shot, but not really an effect!

good shooting..........

what is this.........it's not like any rolex I have ever seen!

not saying you didn't, but as they are the same, you can be identified from either of them.

nice watch, but not sure about the choice of background for it..........also, the reflections are a little distracting.

good effort, but the shot is oof. Also, this does not look so old.........how old is it out of interest?

good effort, but the shot is oof...

well, it is either a watch or a clock, but is a picture of one still within the contest guidelines, it doesn't actuall say!

yes, it is a watch...no doubt about it, but I agree with Lodd.......

sorry, I agree with Lodd......

good effort, but I agree with the lighting comment.

I liked this when I saw it before, but I agree, it isn't very 'close up'...

'black cat in a coal hole' comes to mind..........
