Looks like some kind of tool used in a forge for retreiving hot items. Right? Anyway, colour is good. Looks a little fuzzy to me - either out of focus or camera shake. Some cameras have trouble focusing in low light (most cameras). If it's a manual exposure, sometimes a flash light to illuminate while you focus is very helpful. If it's camera shake, use a tripod (how many time have we heard that?) Compositionally I prefer to see the object fill more of the frame. Just personal preference.

While it does meet the challenge, I find that this photo lacks context. Basically, it could be anything. In judging as an abstract photo, the curves of the hot bar are nice and the color is very vibrant. But again, I think more needs to be in this photo to tie it all together.

I don't like this sort of picture as a rule (sorry about that) but this one is clarity itself
As many parallels as you want and nothing to distract the eye. But it is not boring, the orange and the black, and the details on the measure all contriv e to
make it interesting.

Good idea, but the final image could have done with a bit more post processing work - cropping the top off slightly would help the tapemeasure line up with the corners, and some adjusting of the levels (eg a bit more highlight) would help bring the yellow out more against the white, and clean the white background too. Also, the photo is only 40Kb out of a maximum 150Kb, so you've lost some image quality in the compression. Hope this helps!
