I love how the colors warm the cold metal in this shot. Even though I detest clocks and watches...it's still a great picture and composition,

The colors are beautiful in this, but I feel that you almost loose the measurement device since it's the same color as the background. I love the idea behind this, since time is such a hard thing to measure. There are those moments that last forever, and then the ones that can never go by soon enough.

Nice work!

Thank you. I appreciate your coment.

I love watches but I certainly don't expect that everyone does. The watch I used was very old but it still works.

thank you.

Keeping detail in all of the parts was a significant challenge. The light ratios are very high and I finally adjusted the contrast on the camera, as there was no way I could reduce it further with the lighting (The face of the watch is just too bright compared to the other objects).

So exposure was a compromise, and was DRIVEN into the one I used toretain detail in the watch and some in the shadows. I think though, if you look at it at th elargest size, you will see that the detail is there. I have made a framed copy, that even inthis medium, without the advantage of luminessence (like a monitor) the detail of the compass comes out nicely.

Personally, i liked the brown tones, because it reminded me of age, and the kinds of paintings that the rare masters did. Like mann, Millet Rembrant, Reni, or vermeer.....it has been a LOOK that I have been trying to achieve over the last while an dfor th most part, I think I have suceeded.
