Just experimenting as I don't usually do this type of shot .. does it work or is it a bin job?

It works for me: I like it. Looks like part of a machine, reminds me a bit of Babbage's calculating machine. It could maybe have done with a little more of the frame of the spanner below the cogs, though.

It needs some adjustment.

I like it, very shiny and looks like new.

It reminds me of a couple making love on a train

I like it but I think I'd have cropped the side bits off and just left the screw.

Works for me! - I like it very much.

Not so sure about the tool, though. Not exactly Snap-On, quality!

It is a bit tight at the bottom.

Mike,

Perhaps extend the crop to the sides to provide more context for the mechanism - alternatively, just the screw part itself?

Other than the crop, there's not much to add - it's a good shot.

OH! I love gears and cogs, so yes works for me, would like to see some surrounding area all round including at the base, don't think I would want a too tight a crop.

Nice and sharp, Mike and a fine conversion with lots of contrast.
Best wishes,

Andrew
