I think the screw is looking for a square peg.

I like the selective focus, composition and frugal color.

I like the look of this one. The selective focus works well and you've maintained sharpness on the whole screw. Nice

This has an edgy, industrial feel to it, nice capture!

It's a Canadian screw. This Robertson is much better than Phillips.

Thanks Dan, this is an old building with corrugated metal and plywood sidings. As the picture shows the green paint is peeling away.

If I recall the history correctly, and I read about it many years ago, Ford used square drive fasteners for a while in the early days of the Model T, but couldn't come to a good long term agreement with the inventor and turned to using phillips fasteners. If they had come to terms, would they be more common today?

There's a documentary about the screws on cable, I watched part of it. Yeah, that seems to be the story. I guess sometimes not the best product wins, the VHS vs beta comes to mind.

And Mac vs Windows?
