Just a little something i set up today using natural light.

I didn't intend to convert to black & white, but after giving it a try and with a couple of different adjustments, i think i actually prefer it.

Nice range of tones in the B&W conversion Dominic, easy to see why you prefer it. Good work.
I do like the colour image too, particularly the treatment you have given it in processing.

I like both, but the positioning of the shears is just odd/awkward IMO...

Exactly my thoughts - nice tones and colours in No. 2, but shears/secateurs should be laid on the bench.

The B&W works really well, I agree with the others about the secateurs

No2 in colour is right for me- the Shears could be laying down to the right of shot avoiding the awkward position they are in

Thanks all for taking the time to look and comment.
With regards to the snippers/secateurs, i was just trying something a little different from the norm, but i guess it didn't really work.
