 This is actually a circular meat tenderizer on a mirror. It reminds me of all those rappers with platinum grillz in their mouths. Held a clamp light over the top and the lighting was quite difficult on this becuase the mirror gave off some crazy reflections and glares. I think it's kind of cool but expect some really good photos in this challenge, so we will see. I actually like my Weed eater string much better but I posted it in my 30 days of ordinary objects, so I figured it wouldn't be kosher to enter that in this composition.

interesting image. The b/w tones are spot on and really make this image. I think any colors would just be a distraction and take from the image(of course I haven't see it with colors so I could be wrong). The only guess to what it could be is a back massager thingy set on a reflective surface. I guess it could also be a new hybrid shark. ;)

No idea what this is and I've come back to it a couple of times. It looks like 1 item that is reflected. The sharp "teeth" type things have me puzzled, is it an animal brush?
