actually the simplest would probably be the screwdriver but I like your idea here. would have liked to see less of the right side crop, or maybe a lot more cropped down to the bolt. Good luck

A good idea. Nice subject and fits the challenge well. Compositionally, I don't like how the handles are cut off. Should show the whole thing or cut off for purpose. Also I think a use of the rule of thirds would help stronger utilize the negative space and balance the photo out. Lighting is not bad, but IMO, might be better either using a fill to eliminate the shadows, or else make them more dramatic and adding to the shot.

The framing on this makes no sense to me, all that empty space doing nothing dynamic or informational... The crop onto the handles hurts. the light seems unflattering. The background feels muddy.

Why, oh why did you crop of the end ??

I think this would have more impact if the focus was tack shape.

too much empty space on the left

Good lighting/DOF, but the crop is a little odd - why cut off the handle on the right, while leaving all the empty space on the left?
