Tools of the Trade

I am a body repair man, and I have been kicking around the idea of a projet showing Body shop life...Here is the first image.

This was taken with a 50 mm lens, and I think I want to revisit it with something a bit wider.....

Excellent Idea! Put it in book form.

Great idea and nicely executed.

Perhaps a monthly assignment idea ?? - images from our employment / professions etc??

I LOVE both ideas put forth here....this vey well may become a personal project for me, with publishing in the future!
...and the monthly assignment idea it a good one as well!

interesting processing - I like the image as a whole.
If i have one comment it's be aware of the brighter elements in the scene as the eye rests on those elements. For me, in this image the hammer at bottom right is the main focal point.
However, the bright object at top left that looks like a log is equally bright and so it competes for my attention.
being aware of this during the shot is best. But burning in this brighter element in post, might be a decent solve in this case if it also bothers your eye.
Hope that may help!

excellent idea, well done - Marko brings out some valid points that can take it to the next level.

Make sure you try to do a few HDR, a body shop would be the perfect setting for that style.
