I wonder if this might work better in black and white. I think it might just be alittle too close also.

Ok - there is a DPC tradition of taking shots of a HD but i cant see the "faulty" bit of this... And the grain doesnt really add to the image, nor does the oof foreground imo. :( Composition is nice tho.

Lovely macro and golden tones. So many choices of where to place the focal point, I imagined you might have tried the tip of the arm but perhaps you went for this one instead because that might have ment only a very small area of the image was in focus so you did the right thing doing what you did. The image seems a little noisy though, perhaps its just my dislay but I would have thought you would have used a tripod and the lowest ISO possible and gotten perfect quality

Hmm, looks fine to me. Anyway, you'll never return it under warranty now. The colours and lighting are really goo here. I love the way it looks like gold clockwork, or something like that. I'd crop a little more off the top though, as the broken black lines detract from the flowing lines and smooth circles elsewhere.
