 This is my Great Grandfathers watch. I was looking for something for the bokeh challenge, and there it was. I ended up not entering it because I ended up with another photo that probably fit the Bokeh challenge better. So I figured I would just toss it into the Free Study mix.

The blue in the background is actually the sky in super bright light. The watch was hanging from a tree. I used raw shooter to turn it this color. Amazingly it didn't change the color of the watch at all!

I like the brightness of the watch face here, and the branches in the background add some interest to the shot.

So few people do tableaux here, never mind do them well. This is a simple one, but well executed. 7 for now.

I like the concept of the shot, but the dark patch in the middle is more of a distraction than anything...I think I'd prefer just the limbs and the blue coloring without the shadow. :)

Great bokeh. Love that blue background. Odd that the watch is pink, but it works. Nice DOF.
