I'm trying to work out what this is. And for me, that means it's a good abstract.

flipthom said 328 days ago:

Montage, it's actually a paperweight filled with random gears and screws and various other little tidbits. Thanks for the comment!

Jeff said 327 days ago:

I really like this one (high marks) but I'm not sure why. Maybe it's the colors. Perhaps the composition. It definitely works for me. (That gear seems to be suspended in mid-air. Was it shot as it was being dropped?)

ChriZ said 327 days ago:

Interesting take, very well done!

Thanks for the comments Chriz & Jeff.

@ Jeff - This was not photographed while being dropped. It's a paperweight filled with all sorts of little gears and things and the way that they are arranged inside the paperweight makes them look suspended in midair. This was photographed using a macro lens, a flourescent light, and a tabletop. Thanks again.

Nice slabs of colour, and the cog is unreal. I think softening this image would have improved the image, and removed the scratches from the glass. High relevance though
