The only editing should be cropping. Good luck!

Contest goal:
In this photography contest your goal is to enter shots of a tool and the trade it is being used on. It must be on the job! For example, you could photograph a hammer in use by a carpenter, a mason’s trowel being used to spread mud on a wall by a brick layer, a mechanic using a wrench on an engine or even a technical support operator with his headset. A tool must be the focus and it has to be obvious that it’s being used on the job it was designed for, or it is off theme. Have fun and good luck!

The only editing should be cropping. Good luck!
