Description
Aren't these pretty? The twisty drilling part is about half an inch long. I got all excited when I saw these, and couldn't resist taking a bunch of pictures.
I got home, found a shot I really liked, lined everything up nice and straight, and did the postwork necessary to make it black & white and just the way I wanted it.
When I was done, I sat back and looked at the result, and thought, "Hmmm. James would do this at an angle." So I started over, tilted the shot, re-did the postwork, and this is the result. I'm much happier with this version.
That process is one of the things I enjoy most about posting on Renderosity. I get all inspired by my fellow artists (awjay, in this case).
Thanks, James! :)

This is a good strong image. The abstract is unusual but bold. Excellent.
Very cool, and the slant makes it even better!! I love your title, too!!
You found the perfect title...now that I know what it means. I had to look pulchritude up in the dictionary. Great title, great picture.
Glad you did listen to your sense about tilting this shot. Perfect shot and realy one of the kind. I don't remember seeing something like this here in a long time, if ever.
great capture...
Hehe!! WOW!!! Really cool shot!!! Never seen somthing like this!
worth all the effort tara as this postwork is great ,will have to look that word up though myself as i have`nt a clue what it means :o).. mick
It is SOOOO COOL and I love it and it is in a PERFECT Angle. Bravo Tara.
love your angle ;) b/w makes it a strong image too.....
Great compo!
Excellent shot. Fantastic perspective and DOF. Looks perfect in b&w!
Superb image. Great idea, made for black and white for sure. Well done!
Very interesting!!
Interesting shot of these drill. Aloha
Wonderful perspective and it was good you changed the angle of the view, I agree it does make it more interesting. Excellent inspiring work, congratulations hugs Jane xx
You were correct, the tilt makes the image much more exciting...the B+W was a good call as well
Excellent title Tara, I would go so far as to say perfect title. It is indeed a thing of beauty, I have seen something similar myself years ago but I cannot remember where nor can I remember what it was used for. I am guessing this is on a machine performing a job so to speak. What is it used for? is the question. Not only you has this thirst for knowledge you know. lol. Well spotted and expertly taken shot, with exceptional postwork. I love it. Bravo!!!!! 5 is not enough!
Nice shot and excellent choices in postwork.
heehee good one Tara, and yep, I get inspired by all the abfab talent here too !!!
Excellent picture, great post work. pul·chri·tude (pŭl'krĭ-tūd', -tyūd') pronunciation n. Great physical beauty and appeal. [Middle English pulcritude, from Latin pulchritūdō, from pulcher, pulchr-, beautiful.] I looked it up :) Todd
