Excellent Shot! I like the crispness and the detail. This is one of my top 3 for this challenge. I don't have any great comments on how to improve it, but I would be curious to see what the result of moving the light source more overhead of the subject than behind it would be. Maybe it will help define the lower right part of the handle a little better and increase the contrast between the entire front edge of the wrench and the beans.

Nice DOF and detail. Unfotunately it looks like the bright parts of the head are a little overexposed, but the rusted chain looks about right. It looks like you used a flash. Maybe setting up a different lighting source or bouncing the flash (or diffusing the flash) would help eliminate the blooming on the highlights but still give you good detail and shadows.

Great DOF and framing. A little more light on the subject might improve the picture.

Nice picture. I think there is some room for improvement on the lighting. The brighter reflections on the tops of the lanterns are a little distracting. I would prefer a softer light, maybe a front light aimed down, to help the tops of the lanterns stand out from the background a little more.

Nice shot overall. IMHO the upper right quadrent of the picture lacks interest/color. Maybe try a tighter composition around the flowers and center of the rusted piece.
