Have you considered a smaller aperture or image stacking to expand the DOF?
Aperture was f8,specifically didn't wanted for a smaller aperture since it would require additional strobe.
I could have tried stacking,but didn't had a tripod at the moment I clicked the picture.

Very nice on many levels. Diggin' your placement of selective focus on SEIKO. Even thought the S and O aren't tack sharp (shallow DOF), we still get the message.
My biggest (micro) nit is the fact that the word ALARM and the alarm hands are too sharp as they are also in the plane of focus and we now have to go back and forth between the alarm/hands and the SEIKO, as it competes for attention. Sometimes I intentionally put two different areas in the same plane (flowers @ pistils & petals), but here I think it waters down the message of SEIKO just a bit.
As you know working with tubes and reversal, it will only take a very small adjustment in orientation to change your plane of focus. Just something to watch for. Of course, if you meant for them to both be sharp, that's certainly viable.
Again, much goodness. ...Show more →
When I saw the photograph again after I read your post,I realized my mistakes.ALARM and alarm hands are much sharper than SEIKO,where I wanted to use selective focusing.
I think that tripod is necessary for such shots and camera's in built live focusing can be utilized here for getting sharp results.
Thank you for the review.
