very original

I would love to see more of that sculpture, nice shot.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnaldo_Pomodoro Here is some info on it for you.

a superb piece of sculpture, but, imo, not so shiny...

I love the colors recall in the the windows (gold at the middle one and blue at those at the above), I like the composition, ... , it's a really nice picture, but I have to agree, it's not very shiny (to fit the contest theme).

Could use a polish...

I don't know. It's reflective and metallic...sure it's not chrome, but I feel like it fits the theme.

It fits the theme just fine, but just not as shiny as other entries. It's still shiny and a very unique entry.

I think this would have been better with just the saucepan on its on. I understand though you needed the dull brass to hide your reflection.

Thank you farmike85, actually not, I didn't need to hide my reflection, I'm not there, shot is on timer, and camera is so far away, that it's becoming invisible. I added this little coffee thing just for fun.

hell sharp

This is way to sharp in high res...

Sharp must be your middle name...
F A N T A S T I C
& there not enough!!!

this is amazing........well done author, the sharpness is superb!

Sorry, I find it too sharp too ! It seems that you've added sharpness with photoshop because even the blurred areas in the background are sharpened.

oh come on guys............take a look at the metal grain in the bright reflection on the right side of the kettle under the spout............additional sharpening would have knocked this out.........I do say however, that the shot is noisy in places..

I agree with Lodd and Artifakts. Still a nice shot though. Good luck!
