Images look fine from a focus and exposure point of view. You should consider using a different background to make the watch pop up better, IMO. The color used in your examples has a similar hue to the watch itself. Ive been using darker backgrounds like leather and wood to provide an ambience, a surrounding that makes the piece standout more. It also sefves to provide more warming light.

No one did that here. Sorry.... Only YOU passed wrongful judgement based on your biased stereotype.

I think to get on with the times, honestly. What you ask for doesn't exist, why it should?

Funny how some rapidly pass judgement based on stereotypes. You would be surprised how many of those rock stars have a higher quality of education than average.

Wrong on so many levels....

I honestly didnt found any sever WB issues with the OP image. What it lacked was a lot of contrast.

Thanks! For some of this I used natural light, carefully controlling for undesirable highlights. For others I used a portable studio with a self contained light source. I got it from amazon. I went with natural wood textures as a base for most of these which provided a rich, warm type of light and tones. I dont like that standard "catalog" style of images for these. They have character and deserve a bit of creativity, I try to make "portraits" out of them. The catalog look looks bland and boring, IMO. I prefer that type of light in contrast to a cold, sterile and flat look what some seem to prefer. As far as equipment I used: Canon 5d Mark IV camera Canon 100mm f/2.8 L Macro lens Lightroom (software) Photoshop (software) Again, thanks for looking and for the likes!
