[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I have spent the last week or so trying to get this and a couple more photos of this cheap clock. I have a total of 45 different versions, most of which have some sort of problem; the hands are in the wrong place, the clock is too dirty, there are too many reflections, ... at least this one is presentable.

I took this in one of those off the shelf photo tents (here). I had one light to the right of the image with the tent providing reflections.

Post-processing work included adjusting exposure, contrast, saturation, and sharpness in Adobe Bridge; cloning out dust specks and resizing in Photoshop.

Let me know what you think.

edit 4/6: I wasn't fishing for compliments here, just expressing frustration with the process. I hope no one thought otherwise.

... not only presentable, in my opinion it is very good! :-)
Detail is sharp and perfecly focused, clock is clean and there are no disturbing reflections.
Like a lot also the cropping.

Ciao, Antonella

Very cool shot ... amazing smooth tones, amazing details. I love the reflections of light along the clock's circumference.

Great work!

This shot out of the 45 as you say is worthy to present indeed.
The angle is just good. it is clean, sharp and well colored.
Well done!
