A "cliché" work image at first glance.
But look at it more and we have the hammer (scraped head, worm body, aged sticker) has seen a lot of work. The glove allows a worker to do more work. The rolled up sleeve suggests a man ready for work. The tilt of the image suggests a mid-swinging--work in progress!
Holding a hammer may not be an appropriate work image, but your set of props, the particulars of composition and the lighting (with the dark background I think brings out the hammer nicely from the handle and arm) and what I said above... the image screams of work!
Two slight criticisms :)
* I'd imagine if real work was being done the worker might hold the hammer more towards the end of its handle. I suppose it depends on what's being done, but you wouldn't get greatest purchase from your swing with a mid-handle hold.
* I'd like to know what's being hammered. Work (in my opinion) is both the act of doing something (which you've captured here) but also the resulting object (which you haven't). It'd probably result in a completely different type of image though, and maybe that's not what you wanted to capture.
I'd envisage a mid-to-late 5's finish for this.
I'd give it 6. |
