I very much enjoy this image. The colors are dramatic and vivid. The small white specks on the side of the chrome "tip" are very clear and add a real depth to the image. Excellent!

Great shot. What is it?

Nice image, nice composition, nice red colours. I don't see the "extreme contrast" here. I see contrast, just not 'extreme'.

umm.. what on earth is it?

Nice abstract. The portion in the middle does exhibit some extreme contrast, IMO. I'm curious as to what it is. Love the shallow DOF.

Lovely DoF

if this were better focused, it would be really nice.

Its a pleasing shot - i like the deep reds and the shapes, but the relevance is lost on me
