An adjustable wrench and some bolts. I like the name, "Blue Steel." Makes the image more than just, well what it is.

The only thing I find a bit distracting here is the soft focus on the foreground objects. The wrench looks great, and the color cast is perfect.

I like the toning and overall composition. Background shadow is also pleasing and creates a nice platform on which you presented the subject. Lots of contrast here which is also distinctive and pleasing.

DOF seems way off to me, the blurred screws/bolts are disturbing me. The relatively crude blue tonalities seem forced. I'd like to see more separation between arc of the upper wrench jaw and the BG.

Lovely! The blue tone suits it well and I love the textures in the image. My only pick would be the hot spot on the right bolt but it doesn't make me like this any less.
