I like the way you have used the light to emphasise the shape of the vice.
Perhaps if the jaws had been visible showing the grip pattern..it may have added extra impact.
Good image just the same.

I like the lighting,shallow DOF and composition used for this image.
The light dusting of snow adds to it`s impact also.
Nice work...hope it does well.

Continue your journey by adjusting the level

Judging from a comment received on my submission..I believe this may be "Sandymaya`s" image?
You have been luckier than me in the respect that the lock mechanism is bigger and more obvious on your lock gate. I found it a very difficult subject to photograph in an interesting way without making the mechanism an afterthought and it`s affected my score.
You have managed to keep the mechanism the central theme..so I hope you are doing better than I am.
Good luck

Nice mechanical look to this.. reinforced by the effect you have used which emphasises the essential metallic feel required to make the image work.
Good luck.
