Very nice, very nice indeed. I'm sitting here trying to fibure out how you did that, I can't see where the paper was cut, certainly doesn't looked photoshopped, excellent. A 10

Good interesting tones. Works as a simple still life, or almost a geometric shot. It would have been good to get rid of the little reflection though.

Comment by Art Roflmao:
Pretty decent entry, but lighting is a little red and I think it might've been more effective if the wrench could've been sitting in the bottom of an old toolbox. Good job though.

Comment by Arcanist:
Makes me think plumbing, but does nto make me think technology or even low technology. This is an item that has stood the test of time over the evolution of plumbing for quite some time. The image on the other hand is very well done: simple, focused and balanced with only the upper right section being too well lit compared to the rest of the shot. The border is great and the perfect color. High marks for composition and presentation, some loss on challenge interpretation from the viewer.

I really like this photo for it's simplicity but the border loses points. In my opinion, it's way too thick. A simple composition begs for a simple border. 7

I chuckled when I saw this. I can't help but like it. It must be the simplicity.
