I like it (a lot). The coils, screw threads, coil shadows, and even the bokeh background have a central theme of cyclic repetition, and the background puts the winch nicely into context. Your processing is exquisite, imho. All in all, a grand photo.

I agree with Bob's comments.  I like the image!

Is the bottom edge of the image straight with a 90° corner on the right?  Looks a tad off.

I like the bent bottom.  The wench seems to be trying to straighten it out.

The shallow Dof helps make the image and the processing is spot on. Did you take a shot that isn't straight on. I think it would be interesting?

I like this industrial look with the gear and winch cable… The background is just perfect.
Well done!

Thanks, all. I was a little off-centre when I took it, so I corrected it in LR and that might account for any slight oddity. Stamper, I'm sure you're right but sadly I took only the one: it was a quick grab as my wife and I walked away from a restaurant where we'd had a coffee. I should have spent more time on it.
