Love the title! The lighting is good, but the image seems a bit grainy and soft. I think most of it is due to the use of excessive JPEG compression. Your file size of only 78k indicates a highly compressed image and that is what could be robbing a lot of the detail and smoothness from this image. Check your compression settings when you save your file. Always adjust JPEG compression so that your file size is as large as possible, but within the challenge limit. (200k for this one)

I don't know what you use for editing, of course, but I have posted an example and some notes on the compression settings in PaintShop Pro:

Hope this is helpful for you.

Ohhhh..makes me want to scream when that happens! Looks like the levels or something might have been over-adjusted???? It shows on the screw but, still a lovely shot

Is this an extreme crop? Or maybe over sharpened? I like the idea though.

This image doesn't portray unlucky, only your title does.
