Very nice Ad! Composition is appealing and strong. I can feel the energy and attitude of the 'trekker' as he moves away. Nice look on his face as well. Lighting is cool, if only a tiny bit too directional. The choice of grey background is a good idea as it gives the watch more power as well. I'd wished for a slightly 'closer' shot since we don't see the watch that much. The writing on the wrist is another great touch, as well as the - Watch - beneath it. Great work! 9

This entry has a lot of style and I think one of the best use of lighting of the entries in this composition. The focus and detail is excellent and the post processing is clean without distracting artifacts.

The composition features the watch near the lower right edge which I think is unfortunate given that this is an advertisement challenge and the watch does not occupy a prominent enough location or size.

A very good composition but a little more detail is left wanting from the product. However, the image has strength and great tonal values. Bumping up.

I would have liked to seen more close up of the watch. Lovely colors to the watch and very well done. I gave it a 7.

Hmmm.... yumm..... hard to concentrate on the watch, but I found it.... for a moment *s*. (The lighting helped me find it). I don't like the "tatoo" on his wrist, but without it, it would be hard to work out what this ad is for since the watch is such a minor element.
Great looking model, pose, lighting. 7

Great photo by itself. Forget about Jewelry Advertisment for a minute. Composition, lighting, focus...all the key elements are right on! I'm mixed as to the value of this photo as an advertisement for jewelry - not much of the jewelry to see. I guess it's all a matter of taste. When I'm buying a watch (which I've done numerous times) I want a little more detail. That's just me. As a photo this should place high with DPC voters. 7 from me. Good luck.
