 I'm afraid this might be a little too subtle to really score well but I really like the way this came out. There were a couple outtakes that had better movement before my setup sortof ruined itself but they weren't nearly as interesting.

great shot that could be imprved setting the watch at the ten to two position (ok so the second hand is going around but i feel this would benefit the overall composition)

Wow, could be a real ad. It looks brilliant.

perhaps you could have set up the rocks differently so the reflection wasn't buried amongst them and remained in an empty space of the water. perhaps better yet would be to remove the reflection altogether, as it seems to be in the way of the composition, with some bottom up lighting.

A great poster shot, I'm sure Rolex would love it.

The watch seems oversharpened.

Great focus, and a well selected setting for this picture. I'm torn between this and another setting with a watch that has a second hand which would have blurred a 1/2 circle for the 30 seconds. Good job.

nice shot, but not dynamic

This reeks a little too much of an advertising shot for my liking - nice if you like that sort of thing, but I don't. The non-moving parts of the watch face aren't quite as sharp as it should be either. As much as I like negative space, the big black expanse in the top right corner isn't really adding anything to this image.

I thought about doing something similar. You carried it out really well!

I really like this... Would have liked a tiny bit more emphasis on movement... if that had been possible... maybe pushing the exposure up to a couple of minutes...

Fantastic DOF and lighting...
