 Taken in the lab at work, it's an HPLC autosampler. Nothing fancy with lighting, just made use of the ambient as best as I could. I had tried to get a motion blur effect of the arm moving but I think this version looks better in the end.

Levels and curves in lightroom, then just resize and USM. Pretty happy with the result, lets see if we can break a 6 again?
