excellent idea, poor execution

i saw something similar to this for an ad for a wrist watch. i thought i could emulate it but my processing skills is sadly lacking. i'd have loved to have blended the colours where they meet in the middle but i couldn't figure out how to. i almost wanted to just throw the watch into a pot of water and ink but i didn't want to waste a watch. in the end i settled for this as it is late and i have to notarize a document early tomorrow morning so i have to make a trip downtown to the office.

You’ll have to point out the poor execution part because I cannot see it! Amazing photo. I don’t even know where to begin

[Ingrid]

I still like it a lot!

[Adi]

I think is fabulous

[Kathy]

I think it's an excellent job. I understand what your saying, but I'm not sure blending is necessary.

[Frances Claydon]

think it looks fine as it is, like the way the blue seems to curl round the watch like fingers

[Clare Gadsby]

oh yes best not to destroy a watch! i like the protective blue

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It still looks pretty interesting- better than I would have done!
