I should have titled this 'Dirty Files Exposed'. Oh well...

I like the use of black and white - however there is a lot of noise in the image - reflections and black dots - that may have been intentional? It fits the challenge well.

Now theres a different spin on the open HDD.

Well e xecuted B&W rendition but the focus looks a tad off to me.

Metallic parts give interesting textures, and machine parts, taken from the right angle make great compositions. Nice shot.

Mono works quite well on this even tho I thought it wouldn't but i would have much prefered to see something else in the reflection than what i can only think is your PC monitor, It was put on a forum post last week that a certain 5 things would probably get shot quite a bit and this has happened as I have seen half a dozen of these shots, although this is one of the better ones imho I still think a really interesting / contrasting image in the reflection would have been the ticket !

It works beautifully in black and white! Very effective composition too.

Good Points: good use of b&w
Bad Points: quite a dull idea, too much dirt

Yes they are! Hope you didn't lose any! ;) Going through the thumbnails this was a popular theme it would seem. The dust or black specks are really distracting, if it had been cleaned before taking the shot it would have started with a much higher score. I like the angle the shot was taken at and the black and white effect is perfect for this shot. Starting with a 7, will be back.
