After shooting different subjects, I finally made my way into the garage, where I found these wrenches hanging on a nail. I placed a dark denim shirt behind it for the dark backround and this emerged. STOOC, resized for web, USM.

I gave it a 6 for texture and color, the top cropping really hurt it though...feels cut off to the eyes

I agree with Colette, looser crop and maybe a different angle/placement on the 3rd wrench. Maybe a lower angle to get a little of the handles in. I also didn't enter or vote on this one. But, I would probably have given a 5, maybe 6.

Choice of background is good, exposure is ok though the lighting is harsh probably from the flash. The composition is a little too tightly cropped though the diagonal placement of the wrenches is a good idea. More separation between the wrenchs or a slightly different placement to show the number of wrenches better I think could improve the image. The ends seem too close together. A wider angle would allow you to space them out more.

I didn't vote on this challenge but would probably have given this a 5.

I like the simplicity, clarity and conciseness of this statement, and the wrenches look great on the black backround. 7

Nicely cropped. GOod use of macro. It's amazing the color variations. The black background is the perfect set up for the wrenches. Nice light with no hot spots. 8

great macro-shot, maybe you should put a nice little border around it next time, but I love it anyway.
