Can you explain 'PP' for me? I don't know what that means. Also, when I darken it you lose the detail some in the shadows on the dots. I wanted to leave it so you could see it. This really isn't a very good images for this, but I was pressed and all the images that I took earlier didn't look any good at all. I really wanted to incorporate the number nine for day nine in the image and since the others failed, this was the best I could do on short notice.

Thanks for the comment.

That's a flathead "V8" Ford. My grandfather had a 32 Ford pickup truck, and we drove it to go fishing along roadsides in the Florida Everglades when I was growing up. He called the truck "Leapin' Lena." The model "B" Ford was introduced in 32. Here's a link about the motor in your photo. Flathead Ford site
It is difficult to photograph something so shiny when it is in a lot of light like in your shot. It looks good in your image.

Nice. I thought the metal bolt heads were some cheap plastic light ornament but realized they were bolts when I saw the many hot spots coming from all the lights in the room. Good capture.

Great theme! Reflections are distracting. From the nit-picker; blood is not realistically colored(but then, what color is blood from silver ware?

Great detail here but the subject is not as interesting as the numbers IMO.

The light here is really strong and seems to be washing out the letter and symbol.

The money day 4 seems a bit washed out compared to the other numbers.
