Time for a change, bit of minimalism macro fun. Usual RAW import and levels in Lightroom, few dust spots and then small touch up, resize/USM/save in editor.

This is a good composition because it is simple, clean and minimalistic in presentation. Detail is very good with a lot of detail on the groves of the screw as well as the spotting 'texture' of the metal. Lighting is spot on. My only critique is that slight shadow off to the left of the head of the screw - another light or different lighting configuration would take care of that before clicking the shutter. Another way to get rid of it is through PP with use of the clone tool.

VERY well lit! I think that this is spot on with every technical aspect I can think of. I like the placement of the screw in this as well. Very nice b/w

great focus. almost too great, in fact. i think i would blur the texture of the paper that is in the plane of the screw. lighting and grunge are really cool.

This is wonderful in it's simplicity - as we would have said to each other in high school - 'feel like a screw?'

aaah, just screw it. (hee hee). I actually like the minimal approach. This would be a great stock photo.

Can't imagine this photo could get much better for what it is - I agree with Unclebro that it would make a fab stock image. My only nit is that the slight shadow is cut off a little on the left-hand side. Maybe include just a bit more negative space in that area.

an almost perfect picture.
I say "almost perfect" because I'm sure there is no such thing as a "perfect picture".
definite stock material.

I like the light gradient on the background and the rustiness..
