This is the inside mechanical make up of an 1873 Waltham pocket watch. I'm missing the wind-up key so I can't say if it works or not. I just thought it was an interesting subject,hope you do to, your comments are appreciated.

Critique Club Review:

I really enjoy the detail of this photo. Focus and depth of field are very good. It does appear that a little bit of softness is starting to creep in at the lower left. It could be an illusion of the lighting.

The angle of the lighting does a great job of showing the texture of the piece. I small fill light on the bottom would help reduce the harshness but keep the texture.

I like the way the watch goes off the frame also. Too many are circular blobs in the middle of the screen.

I would suggest a thinner border. The details and lines of the watch are fine and somewhat delicate. The border, in comparison, comes across to me as a little heavy.

Overall an excellent photo, I could see this hanging in a shop or gallery.

Very nice job.

This does not seem like an abstract to me.
