My sister Suzanne.
Went out and bought an 18 inch wrench. the opening must be around 5 to 6cm. There are 5 light bulbs for this shot. two 100W desklamps used to give her hair some shine. a 500W light from the bottom up. another 500W shining at the ceiling and illuminating a large piece of white carboard, which is reflected in the wrench. The paper had to be right above the camera. The last 500 W light bulb is pointing straight at her at camera level, but a bit the left. With this much light, I could shrink to aperture to 6.3, focus at the mid point between her and the wrench so that they both come out in focus.
I handheld the wrench with arm extended out while snapping the the other hand. Most shots where misaligned; but I had many to choose from and this one was the best.

PS: the background is a hanging velvet sheet.

I gave this a 10
maybe if you had done a poor job more people would have believed it and you would have scored higher
bad luck should have been much higher
Ha! Great positioning of the crescent wrench - and using it as a tool to demonstrate DoF! It's also a perfect demonstration of multiple sources of light - exposure is perfect on the model and the prop. Black background a real winner. This should finish well above the pack.
This is a well executed forced perspective shot and it does require deep depth of field to achieve. I don't find the subject appealing, however. I'm sure others will. Good luck with it!
GREAT PICTURE -- I tried for the same concept - (mine came out a little sloppy) -- no one understood the deep depth of field in the illusion! I'm giving you a 10!
Very cool!!! Excellent take on the challenge! Now that's using your head. :) Good clarity and focus throughout the photo. Good luck with the challenge!!!
Good use of a longer lens to flatten out the image. Creative idea, well done. Well lit and composed, including no disturbing reflections in the spanner/wrench, and that vivid blue eye in the middle of the whole shot really catches your attention. I like this more the more I look at it. Good work!
