Best old plyers I could find among my husband's tools - juxtaposed with the simple tweezers. Tried to get a variety of opposites (age, size). First shot with my new lighting setup.
Cropped, smart sharpened, levels, saturation, burned/cloned out dust and dirt off the black velvet, applied cs3 b&w - added back in gold/brown, deepened the red and yellow, contrast, brightness, thin borders, sftw.

Torn on this one. The image quality is great and concept better than many, however the coloration of tools vie for attention and make the whole seem more grey than it probably should.
