Thanks to all who provided something interesting and metallic. Now for the details:
JimAskew, Oil Cans: An engaging image, gleaned from something that wouldn't get a second glance from most passers-by. I like the diagonal composition and the suggestion of the passage of time; these objects have accumulated over a period, there's a history here.
M_Six, Tunnel: The angles and reflections make this a dramatic shot with a futuristic feel. (Was anything outdoors really that clean?) We might be inside a spacecraft. The scene manages to imply speed even though nothing in the picture is moving.
Raven, Rusty Longhorn: Rusty and rustic! Lots of local color and a strong sense of place. I lived near cattle country when younger, and I remember how proud the ranchers were of their chosen breeds. The sculpture might be almost an ad for the product.
teekay, BRASS: An imaginative way to combine several metals. I like the warm, quiet color scheme. I would have preferred a little greater DoF for more clarity on the spilled coins.
RESULTS
#1: JimAskew, Oil Cans
#2: M_Six, Tunnel
#3: teekay, BRASS
