I know you have...

... seen those before, but I just love those two shots.
I consider them to be some of my better shots. You can almost see and feel the age of the watch..

Sooooo cool. Love those pics. I agree, you can almost feel the age of that watch, you can almost touch it.

Thanks for the pictures.

That was actually shot in daylight on my kitchen table, and the lighting that you see in the final shot was all done in Photoshop.

Awsome photographs friend.

You are very skilled at the lighting, i love the first photo as the light falls wonderfully on the clasp and extention links.
