I am not really happy with the result of this photograph! I love the fur, I think it works 10x better than the dish cloth used previously, but there isn't much more I like about this one! There is a relflection on the watch face, the whole image is not focused, shallow depth of field and the colours are washed out and 'faded'. I think I will definitely retake this set up and work on removing the reflections in the process of taking my photographs.
