Let me know what you think.

Yeah, it definitely looks locked to me Rob.

I take it this is your 'company' vehicle. Looks like it has seen some action.

Actually, thinking about it now, I can't tell if it's on a large vehicle or a close up of a small toolbox :?.

Hi Rob,

Overall it is an interesting shot. When we have a simple idea or message we want to convey to the viewer, then we should also consider keeping the composition simple. Here, I believe you have too much uninteresting space. Lighting and colors are somewhat muted here too so a nice boost will increase the overall impact. I'll provide a quick crude edit for demonstration.

Thank you for sharing.

Rodney

Thanks for the advice Rodney.

And actually, it is a close up of an electrical box on the side of my street.

I was right then, I was confused !

Just goes to show, one shouldn't always make assumptions without the bigger picture, so to speak.
