 Post Challenge - Thanks for the high score.  I don't fully understand it, but I'll take it.  I know it's curvy, and well lit and mostly sharp, but it's monotone and blurry up front.  I probably would have only given it a 6 myself.  I was just hoping to break 5.5 with it.  You just never know around here.

		| | wow, nice colors and composition. not sure i like the shadows of the rivets, too many lines in the curvy perfection. Great capture though |

		| | I love this type of image, and this one would have been "best in show" for me if not for the full-frontal-loss-of-focus....  But this is very well seen, composed, lit, and would be worth a reshoot if that is possible.  This is obviously a depth of field challenge (digital-back view camera, anyone?) I wonder if two separate exposures for near and far focus could be merged to accomplish this?  sorry--just thinkin out loud, there....  9 |

		| | I think I've seen this sculpture before but it does make a very fine subject and works well for this challenge. |
