I can kind of see where you were going with this, but not sure if it fits strength or power, as well as it fits pressure. With just the guage showing, and no hint of what this guage is attached to, I find it hard to see the message. Other than that, the photo is nice, I like the simple, soft colors, and the direction of the light works well with this subject. I also like the straight pipe on the left, it is a nice contrast to the round guage.

I think this shot would be rated higher if the ring around the guage was not casting a shadow into the guage itself. A bottom light source would have cured the shadow.

Is pressure really a measure of strength? Not sure; i don't profess to be an expert so i'll not form an opinion. Anyway, it's 2900 PSI - sorry! Being pernickity. I'll stop it. I actually think this is quite elgant in an understated kind of way, and I think the pipe to the left adds rather than detracts from the image, which in itself is a rarity. The lighting is a bit amiss - the shadow on the face is a little unfortunate, but i guess unavoidable. In all, I like it! I wonder; did you try this in sepia to see how it looked? 7.

I also thought on this shoot, but my house is electrically warmed ! In south Spain people don't waste much money in warming houses. The lighting is superb, but a dimmer light on the other side, to make shadows less agresive, may had make it more pleasant. Very good one!
