Hey everyone,
I've quite pleased with my 10th place in the Jewelry Challenge, as i've learned a lot in this past 2 weeks. My question here tho, is if my other 'shots' would've sported better results perharps?

| I like your submission best because of the angle of the watch face and the variety of the rock colors. |

I didn't comment on this one, but i scored it quite high, an 8 I think. Had I commented, I'd have said that the awkward andle of, and lighting on, the foreground watchband are the only technical flaws in this otherwise extremely well-executed image. I'd also have commented that it would have looked better with the watch hands at the standard "10 past 10", exposing all of the manufacturer's logo.
Nice job!
Robt.

| I did comment on the band, but I hadn't thought of the watch hands themselves. Good catch. |

I voted your submission a 7.
- watch hands were hiding a logo - noone would advertise this way. It did not have to be 10:10 although all expect that. Your followup #2 has a very nice hands outline.
But, I still like your sumbission the best and here is why:
followup #1: too much contrast between the watch and the lightly colored pebbles.
followup #2: not enough contrast between the watch and the pebbles - the watch does not stand out, it is a part of the busy black image.
followup #3: nice, but the perspective is better in your original submission.

Still prefer the first one. It just feels better than the others. It feels more balanced with the colours.
Still a nice shot and great to see it in top 10.

Compared to the other outtakes I still like the one you submitted most for those reasons srdanz mentioned.
The hands not showing the logo makes it more interesting imho, keeps you guessing :p
All those 10:10 watch advertisment shots feels like spitted out from one of those charlie chaplin industial machines.. and thats still funny in its own way I guess :p
I think this should have ribboned in this challenge, but then I'm maybe not like your average voter..
Still I gave it a 9 and not a 10.. A greater DOF would be nicer here.. and I didn't care for the text too much either..
Otherwise like I said.. Really nice shot. |
