 I really like this shot. Low-lighting and the inability to use a flash or tripod made it difficult to shoot. Processing consisted of:

I like the unique choice of subject. The flash or contrast seems a bit too intense however... the highlights are blown out.

Not a traditional still life subject, but this works well. I like the texture and overall mood.

This meets the challenge - inanimate and arranged. Although it looks as much found as arranged.

I like this. I wish the light on the center buoy was not so bright.

a bit hot in the center, with different lighting this would be a very nice image.

light is quite harsh, burned the lights on the center buoy and left the top too dark.
