I have absolutely no suggestions or ideas how to arrange 3 watches in a shot to make it interesting, so I can't say good or bad about the composition. Overall a bit dark and lacking in contrast. Green text is far too much of a clash for the shot in my opinion. (5)

| I can understand the coloring of the picture, but the green font is distracting. |

| I don't like your choice of font or font color here. I think your shot of the watches is nice, despite what looks like a slight yellow cast, but the cast does add a feeling of nostalgia of some sort, so perhaps that is fitting. |

| Focus and dof a problem when trying to do multiple pieces, would have been better using one piece or beating the dof issues |

| I like the lighting it stes the period. BTW the hands should be set at 10 to it is more aethetically pleasing. 8 |

| I like the concept, but I wish I could see the face of each watch better. |

| Maybe a little more tilt forward of the watch faces and a closer crop of the metal showing at the top. Also not sure about the green text; it takes away from the predominantly neutral tones. |

| Good arrangement of timepieces but the white balance is quite off: an orange glow from indoor lighting. |

| I liek the layout, but I think it needs more contrast. Perhaps the white balance needs adjusting so it loses some of the orange hue. |

| White balance seems off, unless that's what you were after. The watch in the foreground looks very interesting and should have been the main subject. Also, the low angle you choose show little of the closest watch; and there's quite a bit of glare in the glasses. Text in not intrusive, good, but color is distracting. |

| Nice composition. To me the lighting seems a little yellow and I've love to have seen a sharper focus on the watch at the back. Really do like the way you have them displayed. |

| First thing, the colour of the text is all wrong., It really breaks the mood of this shot. Composition could use some work as we see little details like the boarders of the watchs beneath the closest watch's bracelet. The tip of the right watch's bracelet. Those are all distracting details which makes this shot less then perfect. The lighting is interesting as it gives power to the gold, but unfortunatly, takes away from the sharpness, making the picture seem out of focus slightly. nice try. 5 |

I really like the variety of textures; wood, leather, gold, glass. Serene, staid, warm, comfortable, safe, serious, dignified, and rich. I wish more than the stitching of the band appeared to me to be in crisp focus.
I'm afraid some mischievous hacker has squeezed into the corners of this photo some text in electric-green, san serif font AAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!! Perhaps you should consider having them reported and banned from the site. |

| If you were going for a rich warm tone, it worked. If not - the lighting is off a bit. ;^) I like the way you've grouped the watches, it's a unique twist to what I've seen thus far. One problem with the watches laying flat is you're getting some excess reflections on the watch faces. A polarizer would have helped some with that. Regarding the text, another color choice might have been a gold that coordinates with the watches. Of course, this all just my opinion. Hope all goes well for you with the challenge - good luck. |

| I feel this photo would benefit from sharper focus on the watch faces themselves. Additionally, I'm not so sure about the color tone, and the text's font and color. |

| I think the yellowish overcast and the green letteris just don't work too well here. Perhaps a little more contrast and better lighting might help? The watches' shapes and placement are unique and creative, though! Good shooting. |

| The coloring seems a bit off to me (a little heavy on the yellows)... not sure I would have complimented it with the green text, either... but I like the arrangement of the watches. |

| Love the watches coloring. Like that their are multiple watches. Not sure about the text color but it does stand out. I gave it a 7. |

| the text color was not a great choice for this image. White or black would have been better I think. A slightly deeper DoF to get the right hand watch in sharp focus would also have helped. Very nice, though.- 7 |

| Beautiful watches in a interesting setting. The teardrop watch, to me, should be the center of focus because it is the lightest of the three and the lightest part of a picture draws the eyes first when it's surrounded with dark. It would have been nice to have all the watches have the same time on them. That would imply that they were still working. Personally, I might have used a sepia toning. |

| Very red tint to the whole picture. The white balance needs to be adjusted to reflect the correct color lightning here. Used flash? |

| Very interesting watches, but color of text seems very distracting. White text might have worked better. |
