This is quickly becoming one of my favorite pictures. One aspect I really enjoy about it is simplicity of it. It's one of the more centered pieces of mine which I usually tend to stray away from but i feel like there's enough visual interest happening with the scratches on the brass in the lower right corner to offset the balance.
There's a cool little light flare thingy going on in the upper right hand corner. But my favorite aspect of the image is the uniquely focused areas of the keys/valves. Different portions of the keys/valves are focused because of how the front and back plates of the camera were tilted and shifted.
