Should have done much better, as I wrote, you got my only 10 for being closest to challenge and having the greatest impact on me! How can anyone give a 1 or 2 for this shot!!!

A good fulfillment of the challenge, but it's your title that bumps this to an 8.

This is a very good macro shot of a zipper. I don't think it works very well as an abstract though.

Back to bump it up. This will be the only 10 I give in this challenge.

It was the only picture which really gave me that instant what is this, I thought a tank or something else quite big, then in a splitsecond thereafter I saw what it was - it had a great impact on me. Sharpness, color and title are also as should be, but then, I am only a newbie on all the tech stuff.

You should be top 10, maybe even ribbon with this, I wish you best of luck ...
