Beautiful tones in this, and terrific clarity without seeming over-sharpened. I like the color version as well, but I think you made the right choice for entry.

Scott - didn't get to this one during voting but it's wonderful! The texture and 3-dimensionality you got are fabulous, and I love the abstract composition and lighting :-)

Beautifully composed and exposed ... a very nice detail shot that stands up well all on its own. Bumping to an 8, and I may be back for more. :>P Bump bump ... 9 still love the tones in this one

Oh, this is my kind of image--cept that I am not good enough to nail one like it! Tones, textures, lines, composition, lighting--excellent on all counts. 9

I feel awful because I have this feeling that my vote and voice will be in the minority on this one. I think it is brilliant. The lighting gives this an amazing feeling of texture. The framing is wonderful and I have nothing to give for improvement. This is what I call fine art. Very very well done! On my first page.

Can't say why I like it as much as I do: 9 / Now that I look again, I think it's the contrast that makes it look three dimensional to me.

Who would have expected such a nice composition and beautiful tones from such a mundane subject.
