My other choice for the industrial challenge. I didn't like the brightness between the blade and splash guard (tool chest and garage floor). I tried to correct it, but my PS expertise is not good enough. Can anyone tell me how to correct an overexposed area--and it doesn't have to meet basic or advanced rules.

If it's not totally blown out you could burn it in so it blends better. If it's totally blown then you may be able to use the healing brush or clone tool to get it the way you want.

On this version of the image it's not recoverable in photoshop without resorting to cloning or other trickery. When you make shots like this you need to check your histogram after exposure, and you need to bracket heavily towards the underexposure side. Had you done this, contrast masking would have given you a well-balanced range of tones with properly exposed highlights.
Also, as far as the bright spot under the balde goes, that's a reflection, and it's very possible that had you used a polarizing filter when making the shot you could have controlled it. Polarizers don't work well on metal surfaces, but they are excellent on liquids, which this appears to be.
