*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*
A good still life that fits the challenge well.
An interesting take on the challenge and an interesting composition. I like the focus on the spirit level bubble together with the hammer on the same focal plane at the other end of the image, it works well. I like the way the spirit level recedes into the background, though the background itself does have some distracting elements.
The exposure is good throughout I like the natural light and the way it is lighting the hammer in particular. I find the red within the spirit level aperture frustrating because I think it may well be a drill, in which case it adds to the story the image is telling but it is too out of focus to distinguish what it is, because of that it now becomes a distraction. As it stands an increase in DOF would also bring more of the distant background into sharper focus and therefore more distracting still so I think it would be better to place the drill, if thats what it is, in a more prominent position in the foreground.
Thanks for an interesting and worthy submission, Sid |

Love the lines, texture and overall color palette on this one. That spot of backlit green in such clear focus really draws the eye. For some reason I want to see more of the hammer but not really sure why... Either way this is my favorite in this challenge. (Even though you used the phrase "home work", which is something I am trying to avoid, in the title.
