Image is of old E. Howard pocket watch. This was shot with tripod mounted Canon T2i with EF 18-135mm lens set to 107mm at f/8 for 1/2 seconds. Images cleaned up cropped and sized in Lightroom 4.

Not bad at all! #2 is my favorite. I like this angle. But all of the images go well together as a series (product shoots). Just the back of the watch is missing. I see that you have some while spots on your black background for some reason (might be dust). I would remove those.

Also fun thing to do for products is to put them on black plexiglass, so it will give you some reflection at the bottom. Just be careful to not to reflect unnecessary staff.

Thank you for your comments. The idea of using black plexiglass is a good one. As you say, reflections are a source of a lot of frustration. I spend more time on how to approach reflective objects, so I do not include unwanted reflections. The white spots is lint on the black material I used as a background. You are right, I should have spent more time chasing those down. Photo 2 is my favorite as well.
