You make such interesting photos out of ordinary objects. I like your depth of field with the blurred background, however, I feel like your focus point of sharpness should have extended to the hammer itself. The hammer (right corner) is the closest in the image, but it isn't sharp. Posted: 11/17/2025 16:37:09
You have a good eye for composing mechanical/industrial elements which would be great for product ads, catalogs, etc. Nice combination of textures. I agree with Cindy that the primary focal point could be sharper, possibly a bump up in the f stop would do it, say f5.6. I like the curved hosing placement, makes for a strong composition.
