First attempt at using my makeshift home studio using pretty much any lamp I can find around the house - I guess people will pick up on this in their voting but here goes!
This is actually a cod liver oil bottle with my own photoshop label. The 'rust' is model making weathering pigment. It was backlit of course with a light to the right and a reflector to the left.
Processing was just some levels and saturation adjustment, a red gradient to harmonise with the rust theme and some smoothing of my background texture using surface blur.

One of the few truly nice shots which actually shows what the challenge asks for. Great way to compose a picture around the rust. Good lighting and I think its the colour that draws attention. But why is the image not straight?
