Plenty of quality blacks but it looks to be lacking some quality white(silver).
But plenty of potential .
IMO.

Thanks for letting us see.

The more I look, the more there is to see!

You actually right about the watermark, it stands out like sore thumb . How about this one?

As for the whites/silver - the lettering on buttons is grey and the rim is qute dull dark silver, not much light reflects in that.

Thanks

Much better. It's still irritating the corner of my eye though.

It works for me. I think you have done an excellent job.

First and foremost everything is clear and clean. The surface works well with the image and it is well framed.

When tones become subtle though I often wonder if differing monitors can have an effect on people's views.

To my eye at least, it looks well exposed and I like the contrast as it is.

Sometimes I'm serious and sometimes not, but I consider sarcasm an artform. Which is it today?

I agree with Steve. The first thing that popped into my mind was "clean".

I like it.
Getting there! Thanks to you guys
