I really liked the creative process for this challenge.
1. neatimage to remove graininess
2. added very thin border
3. resized for 640 limit
This is a decorative metal plate that has blacks/oranges/yellows. Used a bright light to bring out the colors and a slow shutter speed to get the natural blur.
