I agree with ofnuts about nut rotation. Never seen any tightened bolts that were perfectly in line. Easy to add a random angle element to the dynamic. Regular shadow? Add one after using the drop shadow filter.
I worked a "bridge" job between the end of my career and retirement age, working for a very talented cabinet maker. (it was a job that was actually fun to go to every day). But, his "trademark" was, that he always wanted all the screw heads perfectly aligned with one another, phillips, slotted, torx, no matter..even in concealed hinges. The fact that you often had to "over torque" at least some of the screws to accomplish this, didn't phase him. He was "always the boss", so I had to respect his wishes.
There is a slight perspective in the original image that I am using. It's not overpowering, but it's there. Rotating all the images at random, causes the perspective apparent in the ends of the bolts to make the bolts appear crooked related to one another.
Likely, no one in the world even notices this but me. And I acknowledge the "perspective tool" could address this. So, I'll probably try to "square things up" with the original image, to try and blend some of that directional perspective out of the image, either with the perspective tool, or just through manual editing.
Either way, you got me over the hump that I was most daunted by, and for that I am grateful.
