*** Critique Club ***
General: The tones are very pleasing and focus is on the brightest part of the image which is what draws the viewers attention.
Composition: The position of the watch itself seems to work however the image as a whole feels out of balance. This could be due to the sections of the image being of different widths and different intensities. It feels weighted a bit too much on the left. Removing the 'Buckle Up' text or changing its location may help. Also, the other text may help balance the image a bit if it were a bit lower in the frame.
Exposure: There are some areas of overexposure, on the buckle and in the background. However these areas are not large enough to present too much of a distraction. Changing the angle of view may have helped here.
Impact: Some impact is created by the tones used and the sharp focus. However, the misplacement of the text takes away from the impact of the other elements.
Keep shooting.

One of a kind in this challenge.
The overall non-dead center composition is good, though the text is taking away from it inmy opinion. Perhaps not having the "Swiss Army + Watches" in it would have been better, as this shot makes me think belt buckle, as there is no watch visible. (5) |

| Love it! bumping up again! Can't seem to say anything for improvement other than if there was a way you could have made the head of the watch not be in the photo it may have been less distracting - but the blurred bacground behind the font helps this balance! Great work! 9 |

| Unusual idea to sell a watch by the buckle.... my guess is that it wouldn't be effective advertising. The image presented is very well done and I think you could have used the watch face under the writing rather than the lined thing. |

| Text is too overpowering for this photo. Good color choices. Utilitarian. |

| Rather attractive more as an awareness campaign for the brand. Very well done with outstanding detail. Bumping up. |

| nice capture, clean, crisp. Well lit. However, I doubt that the buckle is the most interesting part of that watch. |

| i would have prefered if the "swiss army + watches" was done in a style similar to the "buckle up" part. I dont think they dont go well together in one design. The photo itself is ok. |

| Okay, I am a little confused. Is this a belt buckle? Or just a buckle on a watch? If so, shouldn't we see more. Nice clarity, but confusion remains. |

| This is interesting. I wish you hadn't used two font styles for your text. The watchband has character with the buckle and I can understand why you did this. Looks like the band is not quite straight up and down... |

| Interesting idea showing the back of the watch. It is eye catching, but I don't know how it sells the product. what is the striped thing behind the words? keep it simple! |

| Great comp. very, very crisp! but where's the watch? I like the idea but I'm not sure what you're selling here. |

| Definitely clever, but the pure verticals don't seem to work well. Diagonals seem much more powerful. This feels static and segmented. Just my opinion, not trying to insult. :) |

| I like this ad: you don't see the watch at all..it's unusual! I like the buckle and the swiss army insignia visible only.. |

| Quite unique idea i must say. It feels wierd because i've done some test shots of exactly the same idea, but decided against it. My main concern in this shot is the fact that we don,t actually see the product. Its like if you are selling the wrist band instead of the actual watch(?!). Lighting is very good and simply ad i like the DOF. (what's on the right??) Text is interesting. Because of the band's angle, i feel like the whole picture goes sideways, which is a bit disturbing. 6 |

Composition: Good
Lighting: looks very nice
Color: very nice
Clarity: extremely
Lettering: the two different fonts are distracting. I like the use of the swiss army + in the wording. |
