This is beautiful. I love the silhouette and the crisp focus and the gradient of background tones is great. Good work.

7 - Met the Challenge 'just' (I can't identify a trade here), and the jury is out on whether a screw is in fact a tool. This is a good shot though and creative and given the angle and detail you have made them look like little tools, so in my 'books' it just scraped in. Criticism; I would like to see the 'line up' completely in synch, that one in the third row second back needs to be uniform. I like the way the one right fore is on the side showing the 'face' and I like the light on it. The colors, while 'nice' I think detract a little from the metal aspect of the subjects. Perhaps a different color, or even b/w - though I think you would have lost the screwdriver more if you did that. I like the reflections (looks like a veiling of water?) and the depth. If the 'edges' of the 'studio' (or maybe it is just the crop) were more symmetrical, or out of frame, it would make this a better photograph, in my opinion.

EDIT: Just re-read Challenge desc, seems nails are 'tools' so I guess screws are too so... 'ok'... 8
