Love the object, don't care for the background. Feelliek it could have been a little more luminous. Nonetheless, a strong entry and a strong score from me.

Very strange image. I'm almost convinced you actyally drew blood to make this shot. And the SHAPE of the fleshhere is so ODD. It makes me think "cobra", and it makes me think "turd"... I'm sure you're cracking up by now. I'm scoring you right up there just for shock value alone. Feel free to PM me and let me know if this comment cracks you up as much as the image did me.

Study in wood and tacks

I'm quite taken by this low-key and totally sideways approach to the challenge. Virtually everyoen else is focusing on the "pointiness" of their tacks, here we see them as retainers or delimiters, not penetrators. I hope this does well.

This is hysterical. High points for both originality and bravery in entering this. I wish you well!

Silver Tacks

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?

Tack Sharp

Comment:
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.

Tack Attack

Comment:
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.

Fortress around your Mind

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.
