This was a double exposure. The first (prox. 1 sec) exposure was the stationary hammer resting on the nail, and the second (prox. 1 sec) exposure was shot while lifting the hammer away from the nail.

As tools go it's about as obvious as it gets. But this is a great shot, well composed, nicely lit and an excellent capture. I imagine this will score highly too.
Great trail of silver, this is so clean and the background is perfect, great colors (the red handle makes it alot more pleasing to the eye)-- good Luck 10
Only thing missing from this is a bunch of sparks from the impact : )
Flawless shot with great streaks on the motion. Only surprise is that I haven't seen loads of this type of shot (yet!). 10
Inspired by the garbage challenge winner ? Good idea to use that technique of pulling the hammer upwards to suggest the movement here. After all movement is an important aspect of using any tool. (I know how difficult it is to get this right, I used the technique once as well) Unfortunelately the image still does not appeal much to me. 7
just so nice, i like the movement effect, as usual RED is powerful colour, it always eye catching, quite overuse colour in photography but its still very effective in your pix. the composition is just so great. and the best thing here in your image...is very neat...good luck to this challenge and i do hope youll landed in top 5....all the best...im giving you 10....wait...i also like t he border. im a pro border.
