Gillette Fusion five blade razor. The litle dark spots remind me of futuristic electric vehicles or maybe spaceshp pods zipping along thier traffic lanes. The blades are extra sharp right out of the package. I wonder if someone will think they are "oversharpened." (The white sparkling spots were there with all sharpening turned off, even ACR. Just used a little smart sharpen to restore the grain in the metal blades).

Bonus for me: finally had a good reason to use my Really Right Stuff focusing rail, which helped a lot.

It's a pity this didn't finish higher. It is a really attractive abstract. I like your account of what it suggests to you.

A stumper, so meets the challenge. Well done. The repeating lines are strong. Color's good. Detail precisely captured. Great work, here.

No vote, just guessing...

I finally figured it out from looking at the thumbnail - it's a razor

Razor. With a ridiculous 5 blades. Where will the "blade race" stop?

I stopped using those when they introduced the third blade and saved a lot of money since ;-)
Not very interesting but perfectly executed shot.

Now, I only know the answer to this one as a friend tried the same Razor blade photo. He is a friend but yours is much better. Great shot, nice focus and perfect composition. Gets a top score from me

Is this a man's razor that has 4 blades? That's the only thing I can think of.
