The border just ruins this otherwise perfect shot IMO.

Sharper focus would improve most aspects of this shot, because the colors are pretty good, the title is interesting, and the spring gives the eye somewhere to rest.

Comment by cpanaioti:
The colours are nice and vibrant, however it's hard to judge the focus and exposure due to the small size of the image. It looks like there may be a few hot spots in the brighter areas.

This subject may have worked well in a vertical (portrait) composition due to the vertical lines in the image. It may have had more impact that way. 5

Comment by whagerbaumer:
NIce experiment. I think its time to go back to the drawing board though. This just quite does not make it. The patterns near the point of impact are too blurred by a fog of dust. The outlying patterns are great. The spring itself is so incongruous as an impacter, that another weapon ought to be considered.

Comment by omnibus:
Bad, bad pun. Was this shot underwater? The clouds of rust give this a very light, atmospheric feel - different than a lot of the pictures in this challenge. I like it.
