Thanks everyone for all the comments. This title was inspired by my son, who was just born Wednesday Feb. 11th. I knew it wouldn't really be understood by the voters, but one way or the other, I thought it was a pretty cute title and thought that no matter what my situation was, it would still fit the picture. I'm very surprised by the amount of comments I got on this picture. This was not the picture I wanted to take for this challenge, but I was unable to execute the photo that I really wanted to do. So I'll save the idea for the next applicable challenge. Thanks again all.

Why isn't this a winner??? I refuse to understand!!!

It is art, found in garage, funny, symbolic and _very_ original! There is perfect amount of light and it is precisely distributed to draw attention, the point of interest is properly positoned with secondary detail (threads) following the right path of the sight, the sparkles off the baby-wrench give it personality and smile and reliable hands of the 'papa' won't let it fall... I also like the sepia look of it with color hints on the star bursts.

Good idea, well executed. I like the lighting and composition. I wonder what this would like in black and white as well? Good job! :-)

Cute idea and concpet. Good composition. Maybe a little on the dark side.

I think this was great composition, but the overexposed highlight and star filter keep this shot an overall "good" rather than "great".

I love the glare/reflection... I think it ties in very well with the title.
