Default 3 Seconds

I would like a critique of this shot as it was a bit tricky to make - I can't make up my mind if I like it or not. It is all natural light, the watch was placed on a granite surface, the ball-head was *really* locked down. I cropped it a bit and boosted the contrast.

3 Seconds

EXIF
D700, 70-200mm @ f/22
Exposure: 3 sec
Focal Length: 200 mm
ISO Speed: 200

Thanks!

I like the image, but white reflection on the surface distracts me a little bit.

Thank you for the feedback. Like I said, it was a difficult shot to get because I wanted a 3 second exposure (which is why you see the second hand moving) but that meant accepting a bit of blowout at the bottom of the photograph.

I agree with Wooglah, but I think the photo is clear enough you could drop it out.
