The Image: Got my trusty rusty old hammer out with a few humungous nails and rubbed some oil on my hands to look like I really do work. The spiderwebs tell a bit of the story.
The Edit: B and W with a tint, Topaz Adjust for detail across the whole image, contrasta and levels adjustments.
The Prediction: High 5's??? Not much hope these days. Mojo is gone

Nice "work". Excellent light, tones, and comp and should finish in the top five, but maybe too polished. Personally I'm conflicted by the artificial border and cobwebs on the hammer. The hand vividly says "active hard work", but the cobwebs say, "not with this neglected tool and not recently". The elegent border is a drag on the gritty impact. So, while first visual impression is an easy 7; the lingering impression of an artificial setup is a 5 or less; and net effect is only a mid 5 - 6. I'll nudge it a bit to a 6 because I like the tones and lighting - better than I could have done.
