So... what the heck is it? Inquiring minds want to know.

Comment by Yo_Spiff:
I find the mechanics interesting here. There appear to be some roller bearings hanging out in midair, not doing anything. Maybe the inside races are doing the work. I am curious what this is.

I expect this to do well on popular appeal, as it is visually engaging. I'm not sure that a message would be conveyed without that title to provide the connection. I'll be curious to see how this does and the other comments it brings in.

Nice light and tones; I like the bit of bokeh going on.

and therefore in need of one another, which comes out nicely in the consistent colouring and circles.

Comment by Zita:
Color seems to be a good choice here. And, the focus is clearly on the crack across the double yellow line. I'm not sure there is much interest here, though. Sorry, three.

Comment by posthumous:
a bit too cynical for me. not that I disagree with it, but it is only true from one angle, and that angle is not a good one for a photograph.

I love man made stuff. And this composition is wonderful. It must have once been pristine, but now it is grimy. Incredibly intricate, but also primitive. The hue of the bokeh is great, and even the vignette is good (although I am not often a fan of that). The blurred components in the rear make me wonder what their details are, while leading my attention to the front gear. All good.

Perfect tribute to Ubique. It is authentic with the right amount of affectation to keep it interesting. I love it and the title, too.

A capable macro shot, no doubt about that. I really enjoy the overlapping circles of confusion top right but mainly pictures of objects don't pus my buttons.

Looks over exposed to me, unless that's the look you wanted.
