Taken at the Phoenix AZ Home and Garden show. The detail is from ironwork surrounding a vendor's exhibit, thus was hard to snap and crop without getting ridiculous colourful Mexican pots etc in the background.
Very bug-like! The lighter blue in the background distracts from the whole. Wish there were more contrast in the upper-left corner. Still a neat subject--what is it?
Some sort of outdoor iron display 'cabinet' where you hang horseshoes or something, I guess. I wish there were a lot more of some stuff in the pic, but then again I was busting for a pee and didn't want to fiddle-faddle with the camera's settings to get only a marginally better shot.

Harsh flash doesn't help the image.
This is a creature of the sea, an octupus, a sun star fish and the blue background perfectly complements it. The lighting is harsher than I would like with unfortunately strong glare and heavy shadows. A little later in the day this would have been a 10 for me.
