SO many good entries in this contest. I found it very difficult to pick only two beyond my first choice (ALC), which caught my eye from the time it was entered.

I voted for:
ALC - the colors, texture and lighting in this are fantastic. Very well done.
Macro Metal Spider - this is simply too cute! So creative!
Snipped - macro with a message - LOVE it.

I had a hard time as well. I voted for 8: elegant, simple- just something about it I really liked. 6: Love the dark background (as with 8 as well) and the rust/metal contrast. And 15: To me it just felt like the chain was moving; I liked the soot/ash particles clinging to the chain as well.

Great work!

Indeeeed! This was a very tough one! we got some very creative minds here

i voted for:
Macro Metal Spider - DARN That guy is creative! NICE SHOT!! i see more than 2 metals ;P
Grating - i love the pattern the reflections make
Shift 1.1 - i think bw is well balanced and the reflections are a plus for me

I voted for:
1.Linked because I really liked the simplicity of it.

2. ALC because it does really say metal and reminds me of my lock picture that I should have used here instead of in the absract contest

3. The Quiescent Rose because it has a really creamy metal feel throughout with no overexposed highlights and a good name.

How do we go about getting "Sticky" status for this poll?

These three just made me take a second look and appealed to me this morning:

Linked - overall composistion and clarity
Curlz - can pinpoint why I like it, just do
Shift 1 - I like the contempory look the angle of this shot gives

Generally you PM Sam and he'll do it, but I think he is out of town.

It was hard narrowing it down to just three entries but these are the ones i settled for:

Grating - Rats! you beat me to it. i actually thought about taking a picture of the same thing... lol. really good job!
Macro Metal Spider - Lots of creativity went into this one.
Snip - I think its a good photo and i like that it comes with a message.

I voted for The Wisk because the two crossed bars and all the fan shape under them is almost 3D to me. The lighting is great also.

I voted for Linked because of the simplicity of it, and it is well done in regards to dof and lighting

Grating got my vote, I don't know why. It is just an appealing photo.

Nobody is voting>>>>

We need sticky status to get more votes.

Ya i already PM'ed the mod'

He's out of town. Maybe try one of the other mods.

My pictures has 1 vote and it was mine...
