It is tricky to take photos of things with reflection. To make it even harder, things which are small. One might think that when shooting at things with glass, reflection of the flash will occur. Well, that is only sometimes but not all the time. It all depends on the angle of your camera and flash. I made this photo more contrasty by placing my flash off the body of my camera. Then i placed the flash quite close to the subject(watch) with the flash tilt about 45deg towards me. This will let the light to bounce up to the ceiling and light directly to the subject. The power of the flash might be too high or too low. Play around with the flash power and the flash distance to get the effect u desire. Walla. That is how i got this photo taken. :)

Many people think that only sunset with orange sky is a good photo. This photo just prove it wrong. Some photo are even better just a few minutes after sunset because you will see a glow of purplish dark blue sky which is different from the usual gold sunset sky color. :)
Not all photos goes with landscape either. From what i think, as long as u have 2/3 part of the sky in your photo, the picture will be nice. :) Always try something new like shooting scenery with portrait orientation. :)
This photos color is enhanced by increasing contrast and saturation. The original one didn't look that good, didn't have that punchy color feel.
Composition is part of the key to good looking photos but photoshop is also important to enhance the photos.
