Nice idea. I'm guessing that it took multiple attempts to get this the way that you wanted. I hope that you are rewarded for the effort.

Hi - I like your original entry. It's a good, soft focus shot with decent shadow and reflection. Both takes are a little on the dark side. Neither photo shows enough light to make it any more dramatic than what it is. On the other hand, they both have a peacefulness about them. I had some issues with my entry too - I decided it might be a good time to let go of the ducky's - a new challenge is at the train station up head!

I went back and looked at my settings and somehow I had darkened it by .5 stops in the raw editor. I don't know why I did that, and based on the comments that contributed to the low score. Because I had everything set up for something entirely different, the focus issues and the darkness were due to the 4 watt light and long exposure time. I deleted some of the original idea shots, which led me to this:

Which I should have submitted but chickened out on.

Thanks for the comments.

It almost worked, I got sorta tired and gave you an 8.... Very nice shot I like the way the watch was caught evenly on the two ends to keep it symetrical.
