Last Photographer Standing Contest Qualifying Round #11

Welcome to Contest #11, a qualifying round. This round is open to any dgrin member! It will run from Monday, August 20th 00:01 (12:01am), NYC time (GMT -5) to Monday, September 3rd 00:01 (12:01am), NYC time (GMT -5). *Just this one time, we are trying a little experiment: anyone who was NOT in Semifinal 2 may submit shots from about a week earlier (August 11th). See this thread for details/motivation.

The topic ready for your interpretation: Man or Machine.

Shay says:

The semifinals are over, and the qualifying round is opened back up to everyone. A question brought up by Dee bears repeating for those who missed it

Is "man" limited to a human male over the age of 17?

I answered this way. Take the two themes together, Man or Machine. They are opposites. In the one direction you have metal, gears, and energy, on the other you have people, flesh, and blood. How you want to further refine that is open to interpretation, Man or Machine would be the spirit of the theme.

This thread, is the one into which you post your entry. Remember, 1 entry per person, and the photo must be fresh, taken during this contest period. Entries must have exif embedded or appended. Click here and here for help. Photos entered without proper exif showing a clear shot date will be disqualified.
