Kind of shoehorn since my original idea for this challenge was not possible. My original idea was to make a Steel Life photo, showing a peace of steel metal besides a Life magazine. But I was not able to take the time to look for the magazine.
Then I took these tools that I have a home and arranged in a busy manner. It is maybe too busy and I don't like it too much, but I want to see what the voters will say anyway.
The setup was a single flash to lit the background and make the smooth spot. Used also two flashes to lit the foreground, being the main flash from right-behind and a fill flash on the left-front.
Editing is simple. I copied the command history from PSP below.

Oh well well... As always something a little out of traditional does not get a good score. That's ok anyway. |
