Citizen watch

[Monsieur Marty]

I bought a 100mm macro 2.8 USM (Canon) last week and I took my first macro picture with it. It's a Citizen watch :



I tried to do the shot like a real "advertising".

EXIF :
Shutter speed : 1.3s
ISO 400
Aperture f/2.8
no flash
Tripod.

This is my first attempt in the macro world and I would to know what I'm doing wrong and where I can improve my skill.

Hope you like it .

I am relatively new myself, but I can make some comments.

I really like the the photo. The composition and angle are nice. Looks like an advertising shot for sure.

Seems a little "hot" or brighter where it says december/60. Somewhat distracting, but as I said I like the image.

Great job.

Overall, I like your picture. However, the seconds counter is blurry (interestingly, we can see your shutter speed) and the dof is a bit shallow. I think "December" should have been in focus... Just some opinions from a beginner. Nice shot!

Agree to that, but still nice picture!
