This is the third shot of my hard drive, and possibly my favourite of the set, not because it's the most interesting, but because I was determined to get a shot of the whole drive arm in context and it took me ages to get it right. Well, almost right, I still had to warp the content in post, but you get my point :)
Let me know which of the three you prefer.

I like the interesting contrasts of light and dark tones in this one. The framing of the shot works well too.

Nice series, #2 is still my favourite. Someone here or on FB or I don't know where pointed at the corner focus saying something like "sounds strange" and I have to agree, even if I really like the detail in the head my attention is not drawn that far, is kept at about three quarters of the arm in an out-of-focus area.
If you're planning something new also for the blog, think about putting Disquss here in the comments, when I comment I almost always forget to check for replies :)

Thanks Matteo: and yes, when I have the time I'll probably switch the blog over to using the Disqus system - it's a lot more flexible.

I've always the way HDD disks looks. The first time i decided to open it, i was astonished by how clear and faultless a metal disk can be. I also discovered that HDD don't work for long without their cover

Though I think the first image is still my favorite, I think this image is a great compromise between what made the first two good separately (interesting of angle of view from #1, descriptive detail from #2).
