 Nothing more masculine that silver duct tape, right?

This worked out well. With the right lighting, the texture of the duct tape responded very nicely to some modest tonemapping with Topaz Adjust and clarify.

Anticipated critiques:
-Overly bright highlights on corner
-Cropped too close on left.

Post-challenge notes:
Managed to hang onto a 6 right up till rollover, then lost some good votes. 33 out of 208 entries is still pretty darn good for a subject that was hard to be creative with. I'm happy.

Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together....

Impressive! I like the setup, the lighting, the tones, and the sharpness. Now if only you'd similarly "fixed" your camera itself. Hah.
