Hi All,
Took this photo, i like it. I realize it is bit soft. Apart from that please spare some words of wisdom on it (technically, composition, WB, DOF, Light, commercial value, etc. etc.).
Kind Regards,
Javed

OK,What do you want to hear? Truth is You do need to understand basics of photography to enter and survive here-Your image has the following faults:
#1-There is no main subject
#2-Everything is out of focus
#3-No thought has been given to composition
#4-No thougt has be given to lighting
#5-You have unwanted reflections filling the image
#6- In Summary-All you are showing us is just a mixed,very noisy, blurred image.No commercial value whatever-What could this possibly promote,sell or socially communicate? What camera/phone was this image taken with?

Although Kenny is correct in some of his critique I have to beg to differ with him in the point that no thought was given to the composition of the image.
Just looking at the image shows that thought did go into the composition the problem is that you need to have a better understanding of stock and how to go about creating a good stock image.
A good stock shot is one that will help sell or promote a product, concept or idea. This needs to be done in not so much of an artistic way but rather a clean, easily identifiable concept.
One of the issues you have is that there could be a copyright problem with the watch.
I believe you tried to utilize an interesting lighting pattern which can be an effective way to photograph something.
As far as the focus goes I do not think it is all that bad. Is it sharp as it should be? No, but I have seen much worse.
So, how to proceed? Think of creating good stock images and photographing them with good solid focus, lighting, and composition. Don't try to be too artistic in the way you approach this right now. Think clean and clear concepts.
Good luck.

Hi kenny123 and hhltdave5,
Thanks for your review, much appreciated. I knew the image is going to have copyright issue with the watch. However there are three perfume bottles in the image will they also face the same copyright issue?
Kind Regards,
Javed

From what I can see I don't think the bottles will be a problem but I cannot really see them too clearly.
I would not suggest putting items into a shot for critique that you know are copyrighted. Pretty much a waste of time seeing you cannot submit them. Best to do a shot that is ready for stock so you do not have to eliminate things or change things when it comes time to do the real shot.
