 Just a straight on shot of a stapler. I played with the depth of field until I got one I liked. Not too soft yet not to sharp. Anyway, vote away.

Interesting shot. I love the colors & the crisp, pure, white background. For my taste, the dof is a little shallow, but it works. nice...8.

This looks just like the head and shoulders of a transformer, or if it were in b&w it could be Darth Vader! This too me is what abstract photography is all about! It's about taking a mundane 'everyday object' and taking a picture of it at a certain angle, light or whatever so it appears to be something else. Well done! 8

That is a very interesting photograph but I dont know if the white on white was such a good idea but the photo certainly caught my eye

I'm happy I did not keep my first idea for this challenge beacause it was it, and I thought of pretty much the same point of view... because, in fact, you made a very good picture and your stapler is really cool!!! Hope you do well, you're one of my favorites!!!
