I really wanted to shoot either a watch or golf ball for this challenge. After shooting the watch and golf ball I really liked the lighting better on this one. Its lit with two lights on eachside. Put the tee on a cardboard box, and used black board for backdrop. Took a few shots, and thought this one worked the best. Any constructive critisim would help. Thanks.

Shot in Raw
Sharpened, Curves, WB
In Jpeg
Desaturated, Curves, Brightness & Contrast, USM
Rotate 10 degrees CCW, Crop, Resize, Neat Image, Add Border, Sharpen, Save for Web |

| The shadows on the object make it interseting. But the background also being black makes it hard to see, it doesnt really stand out. Try a lighter background color, but not white as that would bled with your subject. |

| Great presentation and lighting. I know what's being sold and the shadows draw me in. Just enough negative space for possible text. Nice work. |

| Beautiful shot. It's a shame it wasn't advanced editing so you could clone out the lights in the ball. |

| good lighting. needs a little more DOF. tilt doesn't make sense here IMO. border is overdone, spoils the simplicity of the shot. |
