 My husband ties flies for fishing. Metal on Metal was a little hard to wrap my mind around, until I saw him tying some flies. Ah ha! metal on metal! I took this outside with the fly tying vice stuck into the grass. I thought the green of the grass would make a nice backdrop for the metal and the fly.

Good shot. A mirror image would of probably scored you a little better, as it would of given you the coveted bottom left to top right sight line.

tph1This one was just for show. He usually ties dry flies and nymphs too, but they aren't all that fun to look at.

I generally fish with dries, or nymphs, but the wet flies are the most beautiful. Your husband does a fine job. The photo is good too! Five ones?? Don't let it bother you. Just consider it a comment on the voters and not the image. :-)

Bear_Music My score really didn't bother me that much, I think technically it is a sound picture, but your right about it being not a great example of metal on metal. The five 1's are what bother me the most, I only give a 1 if the picture is both off subject and poor quality.

For THIS challenge, not a bad finish at all, when you consider that, arguably, the image isn't a real strong example of "metal on metal"; If you were to ask me to fill in the blanks and title this "Metal on ____", I'd probably use the word "grass" :-)

It's a good, clean, well-made image. Keep up the high technicals and when you click with an image that resonates with voters AND the topic, you'll have a winner :-)
