Great composition. Being a watch forum, I wish the watch was in focus... Cool idea, though. Being a chess and watch addict this has strong appeal for me 😄

I tried both, however, I found that the watch being in focus lost its dramatic quality. The out of focus shot, counter intuitively, I found helped to tell the ‘story’ better and creates a darker feeling of impending doom. Do you play? Find me on https://lichess.org/@/burntleaves
