Interesting test. Compositionally, the background could work a little better with the foreground. I take that back...

There is an amount of visual tension created between the bolt and the bright upper left corner of the image. This tension takes my eye off the bolt as the main subject and connects it to the background -- to a place. While I can concentrate on the bolt in the image and make it dominate, I prefer to look at the whole image.

A simple crop of the left side to a square, places the bolt in the center and establishes its dominance in the scene...and the image becomes predominately about the bolt. Not that you should do this, but I just wanted to illustrate the change in dominance.

Thank you very much for your comments, very helpful.
I were not realy sure how to crop it so I show the complete image first.

That will depend on what you want to say with the image...how you want the viewer to experience it. The lens seems to be doing its job. have fun with it!
