I really like this.
Actually, the only thing I can see that I could really make a suggestion on would be the harsh lighting. Seems to wash the photo out in a few places.
This is a really neat setup. I like the angle you took this at. Not dead on, at a bit of an angle. Really neat. Gives something to really look at. The closeness is really good as well. We can see enough to get our imaginations going as to what this is, but can't see quite enough to give it completely away. I'm sure someone who deals with these would guess it right away, but not me. Mind you, this is a good thing.
The focus and clarity are really good. Wonderful detail you show us here. I expecially like the texture of both the chains and the darker object to the left of the photo. Nice combination of different textures. The black and white really does help to bring out those textures, and had this been any other type of challenge, I'd still like to see this in b/w.
So, my only complaint is the hot spots really. I wonder if a different time of day would help for this? Or maybe that might just create some shadows we don't want either. Maybe taking it in bright light, but then casting a shadow over the entire image? Like putting up a sheet or something. Outside and being such a large looking object, it might be difficult though. Not really sure what else to suggest about the lighting, but definately would like to see it without the hot spots.
