Interesting shot, and definately a sense my mystery on it. I personally think this is a great picture...the shadows being cast are amazing and the arms in there is a great touch!

Wondeful tones and the contrast is wonderful,

Really great tones on this photo and I love the shadows. You did a great job of framing it and I like how the human element adds so much to it. IMHO, this would of been a good photo without that, but by adding the hands & arms it really makes the photo great.
For me, adding that element to a photo really makes a stronger connection...it has more meaning, intended or not.
Cheers.

I'm with the other two on this...I think this is a great shot. My favorite part has to be the shadows cast by the bolts (?). Looking at them, they don't look like they would have a shadow of that shape...it's very cool. I think you did a great thing putting the hands and arms in there, because even if it had been a "neat" photo without them, they really tie everything together, imo.

What a great photo, there is nothing to critique the others have already mention the arms and the rivet shadows but the one thing that really makes it exceptional to me is the angle you took the photo at.

I love images of mechanical devices, like this one, even though it looks like my engineering hw :-) I think the shadows and the texture almost make it look surreal, and the arms bring it back to reality. I like this a lot.

Nice job on the photo. To add to the positive comments above, the tilt really works here.

BR,
Tim
