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.

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.

This image is surprisingly static for what it's portraying. It needs MORE blur, at least on the BG.

The cropping on this is priceless.

Conceptually and visually this really pleases me. I wish you had better control of your tones though, the burned-out highlights are hurting you.

Beautifully framed, frozen action. Love the visibility of the underwater part of the hull.

Technically not outstanding but compelling nonetheless. Good score from me.
