The subject is a section of exhaust pipe I fabricated using "U-Bends". The circular thingie in the middle is also for exhaust, and is called a "Donut". It's used to create a bend that's too tight for a regular U-Bend.
A hand-held flash was positioned behind the subject and fired as an optical slave.

Does this picture meet the challenge?(5pts) Yes
Total Challenge Weighted Average 5 Bill
Toning/color: You certainly got a good rust color to the shot, and I like the matching tone in the background although it seems to have a little bit of noise.
Cropping/composition: The composition is straight forward but it's good. The crop seems to center on the item(s) themselves without extra negative space, which is good.
Subject: They look like items from a car, but I'm not sure, and that makes them somewhat interesting to me. I see them as a constructed work of art on display. Certainly meets the challenge.
Technical: It doesnt have the sharp, clean look that a lot of studio set ups usually have. Some of the shadows work but there are others that seem to get in the way of the textures.
Artistic: Rust texture, light and shadow, gradient background, almost abstract feel.
Overal: It has potential but I think there are a few technical issues that stop it from being great - mostly the shadows, sharpness of image, and noise in the gradient background.
