Thanks to everyone for your votes and comments. I tried to make this shot per the challenge, adding something around rust, but I guess it didn't work as well as I'd hoped. Oh well, I'll just have to try harder next time. Thanks again to everyone.

Like your idea very much. Creative. I don't like the wooden table. I think it takes away from the shot. Also the composition and light could of been improved to give this a bit more punch. From above is awkward to view this particular shot.
Did you try it without the bracelet? I think it could be better without it, it doesnt do anything for me, But I like the picture, good perspective, Good luck
Nice contrast of subjects, but I wish there was more contrast in color. It is there, just not as sharp as I would have preferred. I would have also preferred the DOF to be a bit larger to include all of the subject or a lot shorter to include only a small portion (but this is a matter of personal taste).
