auto garage tools

76 station, Oakland, CA

As I was framing this shot, I said "there's something missing". The mechanic passing by heard me & tossed in the yellow handled pry bar.
I like the simplicity of this one.

The yellow pry bar certainly added to the shot a. If Tommy can't see any neg space then there is none............................sort of:-)

Thanks for the nice words.
That's it then, I'm done posting pics.
Time to think about the voting.

nice variety of tones and shapes here. the eye has plenty to examine. I agree the yellow handled tool add just the right amount of 'something' to the shot. - b.c.

I don't see negative space because of the detail and textures. The clutter of tools works well for the topic. -tv

Thanks mcbit, I'm thinking the side of tool bin up top is acceptable as it reins the eyes back in, they don't rest there.

Wonderful clutter but I'm sure someone will object to the "negative" space at the top. :) They're of obviously busy tools as they that nice oily well used sheen to them. -mcbit
