Not sure about this one.

Post challenge: Was between 6.80 and 6.9 all week, went down on tuesday and the scrubber did the rest, so VitaminB and jimbone were lucky.
Anyway, thanks for all the votes and comments, I really didn't expect that score and placing.

This is just awesome! A bit much light hitting one of the "things", but it doesn't ruin the photo in any way.

There is something beautifully simple about this shot. It would work well as a stock image. Good luck in the challenge.

This is so close, loveley tone and reflections. I just wish that there was not the bright ring second in from the left and the bright spot next to the 110deg mark.

I really like the composition of this, and the contrast between the dark background and the gold makes it pop off the screen. Excellent work!
