A personal milestone for me with challenge submission #50. Also, I wish this had been an advanced editing challenge because I could have done something with the wood texture and tones to make the handle pop more. Also, the one imperfection on the handle would have been nice to be able to clone out. It is what it is though. :)

it's a handle and it's in focus has good clarity...but it's just not the most engaging (not that many of these locks are engaging) picture in the lot...I think that if it wasn't such a "straight on" shot it would have more interest to me...(bear in mind I'm not scoring you bad)
