Good to know there are sterilized tacks out there in case I wanted to do some extreme body piercing. Nice shot.

Increggible sharpness and detail here. Nice lighting. Minor distracting parts of tacks in the dark part of egg, but I still love it.

I still don't understand that puzzle! Nice correlation to the earlier forum thread.

Is this Arnit's? Didn't you put her through enough in the Pink challenge? Now you have tacks on her face! lol
This is very cool. The red background works nicely here, and she looks beautiful as always even with tacks all over. Nice job.

Curled Iced Crystallized Steel

This is really cool! There are a couple hidden faces in there. I have a vivid imagination, I'm not on anything. Right above center there's a guy with a goatee with big eyes, curly longish hair and some sort of headband thing. Then look right above him and there's a strange demon type face with eyes, nose and all. And off to the sides at the quarter way mark there's another face, v-shape with the chin poiting towards center. Kind of looks like a Chinese dragon or something. Check it out! Nice photo by the way.

Thank you so much for the nice critique. I had plenty of "real" rubber ducks around the house, but tried this approach to be different. This was a shot that I kind of threw together, but even at that took me about 4 1/2 hours from start to finish with many reshoots.

I know exactly what you mean about the water. I tried shaking the pan to get some ripples in the water to make it more obvious, but that didn't work. I had originally shot it much lower, and that horizontal line was more to the lower third, but you couldn't see much of the reflection which is the only vague proof of water there, so I moved up a bit knowing where that line was, but was stuck there.

Anyways, I had fun doing this crazy challenge, even though going into it I knew this wouldn't score so well. Thanks again for the nice words.

WOW!!! Nice capture! I can feel the excitement you must've had looking through the viewfinder as you captured this. I could be wrong, but maybe a bit oversharpened. But that could be from having so much detail and compressing it down to only 150kb. Great shot!

This is brilliant! Incredible capture. I hope people have a sense of humor and give a great score, which it deserves.
