•  Info I'd like to take another shot with this hook since the original nom was just one vote from making FP. This is a completely new processing from two other raw photos from the same session as the first nomination. Different aperture and also a bit focus stacked, that's why I uploaded it as a different file and not just overwriting the first. The first nom was actually the very first raw photo I ever processed, and I thought it was cool, exiting, I believed it to be great, but I really had no idea what I was doing. Well, I've learned a trick or three since then. It is still sinister-looking and "dark" but in a different way. It's sharper and this time the hook really pops. Let's see what you think. viewing soundtrack :-) All by me, -- cart-Talk 15:10, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

•  Comment Why the messy background bottom right? Charles (talk) 16:46, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

• The background is a steel door in the old workshop. The right side is where the handle is and many, many dirty welders' hands have pushed at that part of the door through the years. Some other photos from the same place are these: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. It's not a very clean place. --cart-Talk 17:18, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

• Since you have manipulated the images anyway, there could be an argument to wipe the marks clean! Charles (talk) 18:03, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

• I could also re-paint the hook to make it totally yellow. :) You're just using my disclosure to make snide comments for some reason. --cart-Talk 18:27, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

• Not at all. Sorry if I gave the impression that manipulation was snide. I love the quality of the focus stacking and there's nothing wrong with it. Charles (talk) 18:54, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

•  Support I supported it a year ago and I still like the photo. — Draceane ^talk_contrib. 17:44, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

•  Support A very sharp and detailed photo --Michielverbeek (talk) 07:32, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
•  Comment Despite all the enthusiasm for one's own work, don't forget that this is a picture for an encyclopedia. Who manufactured the hook and where and why is it hanging there? --Ermell (talk) 07:59, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

• Good point, fortunately the maker's mark is stamped on the hook and I've added that to the description. The use of it is actually in the title, but I've elaborated somewhat on it in the description. In a mechanical workshop, a hook hanging from a bridge crane is about as common and versatile as a hammer or a wrench. And don't forget that I'm also enthusiastic about other people's work, your's included. ;) --cart-Talk 08:37, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
