Thank you for the comments on my self portrait. I too find the watch distracting, and when I originally posted it, I included "p.s. I find the watch distracting", but then decided to remove the comment as I wanted to leave people to draw their own conclusions rather than leading them there. The odd thing is I thought about taking but left it on because I have a deep tan line under the watch.
Thank you again. Just wanted to let you know I agree.
I like the b/w, nice shadows,great pose. The only thing that is distracting to me is the watch. If your naked be naked, My eye tends to move to the watch. Other then that I like the shot.
