 This is the most common watch hand position.

This is a Seiko Blue Samurai, btw.

Due to the lack of lighting, I had to use flash. This made the tiny details on the watch face stand out. I used the black surface on the cover of my IBM Thinkpad laptop. Cropped and resized.

Critique Club Review:

Focus is very good. Depth of field is a bit shallow, as evidenced by the softness neart the bottom of the frame. Having the camera at more of a right angle to the watch face would help decrease the depth of field needed.

I would go along with those who wish to see more of the watch face. The sudden cut off of the bottom portion of the watch is distracting.

Lighting, color, saturation, and hue are done well.

As a representation of geometry, I'm afraid your presentation was a little obtuse for a fair number of the voters. Interesting and creative take on the challenge, but judging by the scores; over a few heads.

Not fond of the composition, I think it would be better if the entire watch face were in the frame and not chopped off.
