Great composition and color. The blown-out highlight on that metal circle is pretty distracting, though. - bee1000

Oh... I was just going to say that... Phil

OK I've kept you all in suspense for long enough. Olaf wins for best guess. It is a device for tightening the blades on a juicer. Thank you all for your critiques. =Paul

I've no idea what it is or what it's used for, but I LOVE the composition. Simple, clean, great colors.

OK, clue number one... the distance between the steel pegs is 3 inches (~75mm). =Paul

Hard to guess when there's no clue to the scale... Something to do with watches maybe? -Anders/FretNoMore

Thank you ISO and Olaf for your critiques. Here it is after using the Median command in PS. I had never used that before, very cool. I had noticed the distracting "noise" on the background, but wasn't sure how to get rid of it and make the widget stand out more. Now I know. Olaf, you are on the right track to guessing what it is... =Paul

Can't guess what it is, but those two steel pegs seem mighty important for its function - like they fit into some holes and then the widget serves as a kind of screwdriver... I agree with iso on cleaning up the noisy blue (paper texture?) Maybe it could be done using the Median-filter in Photoshop? --Olaf

Is it a Canon focus calibrator? :) Nice colourplay. The blue background could benefit from a bit of cleaning I feel.
