Wow! The first "product" shot in the challenge. (And I'm on photo 274--gotta be a first.) Nice light and crisp rendering of the WD-40 can. Think the plane should be more in focus, though.
FABULOUS title! Really unique and witty shot, almost like a Hitchcock where you know there's rust there, but you can't see it, yet the implication is vivid. I think (and hope) this should do well, at least with the US voters -- I don't know if WD40 is an international product.

I would like to see the plane in focus as it contains the rust which should be the prominant one in this challenge.

Nice shot of can. This needs far more depth of field for the title to be confirmed. I am also curious as to what this would look like at a much faster shutter speed. The spray now looks much like the human eye perceives it. What does it look like on a drop by drop basis? It appears that you have a camera capable of answering that question.
i think the wd-40 can should be blurred and the rusted object in focus. (opposite). otherwise it kinda looks like the wd-40 can is trying to sharpen the image.... poor man's photoshop maybe? =)
I kind of felt that the focas should have been on the rusted part with the can blurry... but maybe it's just me. Still, I liked the idea, and it made me laugh. :)
Aha - there is a way to say rust without chains, locks, or old farm equipment! An extra point for the innovative approach! The blue/yellows pop - composition works too. MAy be stronger with more in focus. Stop way down, use a tripod and try it again.
While it's pretty clear that's a can of WD-40 (not all cultures will know what that is, btw), it isn't really clear what's in the background. It makes for a rather obscure statement taken out of context.
