I took this photograph with my everyday Coolpix 2000 (count 'em) Nikon digi camera (can you tell?). The subject is the wind-up key of my good buddy Marvyn. It is an essential part of his machine because he can't walk without it. Marvyn is a tin robot, a paranoid android. Thanks for voting!

I see this is your first entry...keep it up, we look forward to seeing more from you!
I think the focus was the reason that this placed last. You had the right idea and a little more care would have allowed for a much better score. The subject could have also been placed in front of a more dramatic background (perhaps a solid black, white or colour).
The first photo I submitted entered last, but in the 5 or 6 challenges since I have improved my photography skills dramatically and I'm very glad I stuck around to learn from the other members here. I hope to see more of your entries in the future!
Fits the challenge, but is too out of focus. Hard to tell what the object is without really studying it. A plain background might also help. Perhaps more lighting would help with the focus.
Good idea. I wish the photgraph was in focus and had a better light source. The light shines off the arm creating a distraction from what I imagine is the focal point of the photo - the wind-up part.
This has to be the most obvioulsy out of focus image I have evern seen submitted to this site. I'm sure you have some artistic reason that it works, but to me, this is simply a bad photograph and a waste of time to submit.
