 For those wondering, this is some automated laboratory reactor equipment we use at my work.

6. Topaz - Denoise, Details, InFocus
7. Crop, resize, sharpen, save for web

Thanks for the comments (especially Ken's) during voting. I forgot how hard it can be to take a decent 'close up' shot indoors using a P&S camera.

"Statistical Design of Experiments". I need to wrap my head around that for a bit to figure it out. I'll end up over thinking it and get a head-ache, for sure. I like the picture, it has good clarity and is interesting. I like the machines all lined up - the depth of focus seems to add individuality to the similarities. The B/W adds - 8
