 It's real and authentic and used- and just randomly hanging out in our house. It was my step-grandfather's I believe.

And yes, it is ridiculously heavy.

Don't know if I would trust a helmet with that mend job on the top. Good lighting and focus.

Good luck

Good picture. I like the texture that you show. Too bad not allowed to reduce the hot spot on the helmet in basic editing.

Nice subject, the old battered metal has a good look. My only suggestion is that the reflection from your light source is a little hot..

Nice detail. Wish the light wasn't so bright in the middle, but copper is forgiving. Good job!

Unique subject, but plain, isolated. Unflattering lighting.

Really good job of showing the hand hammered finish of this metal. Liked this one a lot. You did a wonderful job of meeting the challenge.
