i like the high contrast approach and the details in the bit - but that border really doesn't work for me - it seems to be overwhelmed by the negative space
First thing I notice is the color-matching letterbox border. Kinda works for me...not sure that I wouldn't have liked black better. I like how you've centered this drill bit. As far as the photography goes, this seems oversharpened, the highlights are blown, and the shadows are noisy (could be texture of the bg?). I'm wavering. You were either intentionally going for a high-key type look, or you're covering up technical flaws with post-processing. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say you were going for the artistic, unique approach. :-) Scored it earlier at a 6...still a 6 after commenting. Good luck!

I dig the artsy feel to this. That can be hard to do with a drill bit. I haven't seen many classy looking drill bits in my day. But you've managed it here. I like the placement, BG and borders. Seems a bit over sharpened to me. That may have been intentional judging by your title. It does help the gritty feel. and also there seems to be a lot of noise in your shadows. that's my only nit pick. Good Luck in the challenge.
