 Post challenge; This is a boiler tube failure which caused a fairly large plant to be shut down for repair. I used a red light to illuminate the interior and blue filters on my flash units.

It's hard to tell what this one is. I think it would do great in an abstract challenge, but it isn't readily obvious what the failure was. Nice composition, crisp focus and great complementary colors. Well seen and well captured, but more suited for a different challenge.

Interesting subject and wonderful colors. I might have liked to see more to tell me more of the story of the boiler tube but well done nonetheless.

Wonderful photo! :) I can't wait to read about your setup of the shot. Blue diffused light in the room and red gel over flashlight shined through tube?
