Found a bunch of tools in my father's shop that seemed to work for me. A little staging and a dusty window for light and I was off. Post included conversion to grayscale, tweaking the exposure and light scales a little and turning up the yellow's values just a tad to get the feel I wanted.

Nice and clear, though I think it would have helped it to have the tools either all the way in the sun, or all the way in the shadows.

Shot fits challenge perfectly. Shooting in split light makes for incorrect exposure unless you go for manual and do more during PP with curves and levels. More of the shot should be in focus, especially the front goggles and nails.

Shame about the crop of the tools on the LHS.
