Well I'm not going to make excuses for this one, I can certainly see peoples POV on why it may not be interesting and hence not voted highly on. In case anyone should come back to look at this I'll say a few things...
As I say in the first comment it's a bit of kit from work, TBH i dont even know what its for myself but I thought that since it was such an unusual piece it might be good to use in a macro shot. Then when duotones came about and light, shape and texture became important factors I thought I'd use this. I unfortunately don't have any DOF control on my camera so couldnt get the whole subject in focus in the position I had it, if anyone has any tips on how to get added DOF control on cameras where its not a manual option I'd greatly appreciate sharing the knowledge.
I think I've learned something from taking my shot and seeing the others entered, hopefully this will lead me to improve in the future.
Interesting choice of shade for this -- I would have tended to think of a bluer tone for the 'cold' part but the greenish tinge actually works quite well.
Although this image is very clear and seems to have been shot well, to me, it isn't clear what it is or why it's worth photographing and kind of loses my interest.
