I like the quiet abstraction of this. A very appeaking entry. I particularly liek the precise way the curve of the left tack is tangent to the edge of the paper. Was this a happy accident or soemthign you worked at?

There's a wonderful purity to this, but I wish it were truly squared up; that seems to me vital to the concept. Strong "minimalist" entry.

The best "horde of tacks" in the challenge. High points for patience in setting this up. How long did it take you anyway? The lighting seems alittle bland. Strong entry.

Wonderfully orginal both conceptually and compositionally. Takes a veryhigh score from me, I hope others are open enough in their thinking to accept all that negative space for what it is and what it does to the gravitas of the image.

Very clean & interesting, compositionally. I'm a little bothered by the dark fringing where red overlaps blue. Strong entry.

Tack Sharp

Comment:
Conceptually, sharp as a tack. Technically, pretty blah to me. BG is forgettable, and one would have liked to see lighting that enhanced the sense of sharpness on the razor's edge.

Ther had to be a "splash" entry to round out the "classic themes" reprisal aspect of this challenge, and here it is. Nicely done, a littlke shy on the DOF. I love the way the slight arc of the tack's point has created its own, mini-event down there.

Refracted Tacks

Comment:
Another classic DPC theme reprised in "tacks"... I wish the tacks were sharper, though.

This has GOT to ribbon. There's not another image in this challenge that's close to it. I just hope this ain't Scalvert, 'cuz if it is he's stuck in a rut of a magnitude equal to Zoomdak and his "damned beach", which is certain to make a reapperance in both Free Study and Rocks Scissors paper, IMO.

Anyway, this is beautifully constructed and shot, whoever made it.

I cannot imagine improving this. It's so pleasing to see a restful image among the loud, "look at me!" shost that so often dominate this site.
