 I figured, you cannot make a fly without metal. I probably will get hammered because the entire picture is not metal....but who really gives a crap what you all think? I like it.

I think the subject totally meets the challenge. But I think it suites a more narrow type of viewer ie fishing people.

Nice tight closeup of the subject. Their is metal but because it is covered by the fuzz/feathers it is rather more implied.

Nothing at all wrong with the shot photographically ie lighting,focus ect ect. Maybe a change in the backdrop/background would make the subject pop out more.

Very unique photo on a dying art.

Fits challenge=5
Color/lighting=1
DOF/focus=0
Wow factor/uniqueness=1
Attractiveness=0

Overall a nice image but hard to determine what it is without the title and even then I had a hard time seeing it.

Good luck

There's far too much space on the right hand side. The golden tip of the fly is soft. The backdrop is too obviously set up. These are the negative points for me in this photo. The subject is interesting. 5

Beautiful effect with the fly feathers...but I feel that they are the focus of the photo and not the metal.

I like the subject, but the image is confusing, probably because it was rotated?
