This doesn't quite look in focus to me... I think, that tools are supposed to be strong, hard things, so they should be pretty sharp. I can't quite tell whether this looks like it was a question of compression or something else. Also the lights glaring off of the clock are really quite bothersome. I don't care for the white border just on the two sides, I feel it detracts from the subject. I do like the repetition and the similar tools getting larger.

Think I would have tried to reduce reflections on clock, gotten a better focus and straightened this image.

Really I had only one word about it: Focus. It´s a good composition, the clock is disposable, but the three wrenchs are in good form to make a big shoot. A tip, is to try some points of view, and explore your light conditions. If the light is not good, your camera can´t do a great focus job, then try to use a tripod and manual focus.

I think the picture has suffered a lot in having its resolution cut so dramatically (obviously not your fault). I have also open the picture up in Photoshop to see what that was in the top of the frame and the top right corner. Looking at it carefully it seems that it is the edge of a table possibly (may be wrong) but I think it should have been cropped out anyway. There is also a lot of light fall-off from front to back. It would have been better if you had been able to get higher and over the rings.
I am sure some will wonder if it fits the category (cultures who do not use the standard western zodiac signs) but I am happy that it does. I think it is also an original picture. The idea was certainly worth a try. But I think it need a little more thought and some cropping would have made a huge difference.

This could have used a better light source - I'm not much at all for camera flash. The multi-color is a bit distracting, and the picture is very noisy (ISO too high). May have looked better in b&w or sepia. A better cropping job could have been used to even out the top portion of the picture too. Good luck!
