I still like this shot. I like the color you got and seeing the machining marks in the metal gives it a nice texture too. The angled lighting helps to bring out the details nicely too.
I love this photo. Great color, lighting and detail. However, it is a bit over the size limit of 1000 pixels for the largest dimension. Please rezise it down a bit. A lot of people set the size to be exactly 1000 pixels for their submissions, and that's fine. I don't personally care, but I have to disqualify this shot if it doesn't meet the preset rules for these challenges. I do look forward to seeing it reposted in a smaller size! Thanks - Jim H.
