It was a tough one. Congrats to all the finalists.

Basic and gets the job done. The one tool missing in each and every photo is the most basic tool pf all --------------- The Human Hand!!!!

#7, vintage tools in black and white - still life, and time capsule, nicely done!

The object was still life, not tools in action. Some good shots none the less.

Great pics, congratulations!

A topic interpreted broadly. The call was: Hand Tools - Still Life.

These are two things. The third is that the promotional image what was still life. No action.

It also proves how visual we are, because most of us interpreted the challenge as illustrated. Looking at it this way, I think picture 1 really fits. Still, I have another favorite.

Liked the spiral rope work with the tools atop.

I picked # 7. It said it all for me. Reminded me of my dads tools

lesmore49 · 09-16-2021, 04:51 PM

# 14 is my pick.

The huge variety of hand tools is astonishing, plus, the lovely woodwork on the cabinets shows how they were used to create beautiful work. I would love to roam freely through that shop to see the tools more closely. Really, quite a wonderful collection!

I like to nominate #9. Very good idea.

Few people actually use hand tools these days so the piles of tools seem derivative and contrived . Few really understand the subtlety involved since familiarity with manual labor is rare . Thank our lucky stars that photography is better understood here.in this forum .

Hands down number #7.
