Selling for a client, looking for CC

I'm selling this on eBay for the guy I'm working for. Looking for some CC from you guys on this-every photo's a learning opportunity, right?

I'd say that is in the top .01% of eBay images. The only point I can find to even consider is the background; I'm not 100% sold on the split background.

Crop some off the left, so the balance looks better. And while at it, crop in a bit closer, to make the camera larger within the total frame area. Split background? Ehhh, I see no worries with that...it's okay, and will look fine on e-Bay.

Agree completely with the cropping but don't like the split background at all, it's about the item not the photo.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. Now looking at it, it is a bit unbalanced to the right, isn't it? In all honesty I would have done a sweep background with a piece of white cardboard, but i was too lazy to set it up and just went with the split backdrop. :lol:

Shoot on all white or all black, not both. Just doesn't work in most e-commerce areas. If you do shoot on white, make sure you're at 255.

You need more separation of the viewfinder from the background. So the background should have been white there after all.

And yes, the whole thing could be framed more to the right.
