 Really stuck for an idea for this challenge so ended up taking a shot that took 10 secs to conceive and shoot, and had very little thought whatsoever. Let's see if anyone notices ;-)

Shadows were a little harsh on my original so I duplicated the image as two layers, cloned the shadow out of one layer and adjusted the opacity until I was happy with the strength of the shadow.

POST: Damn - looks like people noticed ;-)

Good title and meets the challenge, but kind of a lackluster subject and presentation.

pretty boring subject. tough to make this one look good. The lighting is also a little unidirectional, judging by the shadows. try using another light, or at least a reflector (can even be a piece of white cardboard or paper) to help even out the light. To improve this (forgetting about the subject), add in some more contrast and overall lighting through curves and levels adjustments.

I think you should've used better lighting, and maybe bumped up the color saturation. Different light could've made the metal shine, while increasing the saturation would've made the red and green pop out.

Nice title but the subject is far too boring and needs work technically too.

A sparkling white background would make this image pop with those primary colors.

The focus is very soft on this photo.

The lighting is a little dull. I don't really like the crop either. Maybe bring the object farther away from the background, and try a different angle.
