I'm not totally happy with the composition, as I wish there was more black space at the bottom, but out of many attempts this was the best one. Set contrast, sharpening, saturation to full (in-camera settings) and colour tone to minus (not sure what that does but I guessed low is bluer and high is redder). I got the extra blue tone by lighting mostly with my monitor from above with a blue screen displayed. I'd have liked to use coloured gels etc on proper lights, but I can't afford any of that stuff. Anyway, I think the monitor did an alright job :) I wish I could clone out the scratches on the bottom and left of the can.

Cool shot. I gave it a 7. Sheesh, I don't understand the validation. This doesn't look the least bit suspect to me. I hope your scores have held up well. Good luck with this challenge! :)
Wow, oustanding shot....second highest score I'm giving out of 57 votes so far. I imagine this has a good shot at the top 10 if not the top 5. Great job.
