Jules, so much texture in this image. It's sharp alright. Lots of wonderful metal surfaces for the eye to roam over. Thanks for entering this photo. - Simon Bennett.

Thanks so much for the thoughtful comments folks.

I actually posted the wrong one, this one is slightly oversharpened (It's the print version which I find always requires a little tweak in the sharpening department).

I too ended up liking it though as it seems I can get my teeth in the texture. Funny how this stuff works.

Jules, I like both versions too...this one just a little more. Nice collective of metal vessels here...good clarity and detail. MFC

I really like how the Black/white emphasizes the details in the metal. I like both the color and BW versions.

Boy I sure agree with you on this choice Jules, the B&W is just so more powerful in it's unity of values. It brings all the shapes into one camp and they are exciting, wonderful... here here to tribute... -todd wms

Thanks Mark.
I liked it better also, the various textures and the odd treea cotta pieces in the back seem to give it a bit of depth.

I like the image in it's current form, Jules. The metal in it's unarranged order and, the different shapes and sizes of the containers, along with your composition, makes this visually appealing for me. Markjay
