good: i like that the pin shows movement. and the sharp (in focus) point. the background gradient is nice.

bad: lighting is flat and boring, composition is bleh. not much else very interesting.

very, very nice tree, however, the background seems too busy. There's not enough contrast between the tree and the background to make it stand out enough so it gets a little lost in the photo

Great idea. I would have loved to see the whole pin in focus.

The Idea is clever but a lot of negative space

Comment by Adamsw216:
I like that you can tell where the ground is and the super shallow DOF definitely works with the image. But I feel that the part of the pin that is out of focus is a little jarring, in a sense. I realize the possible difficulty of trying to get a pin to fall within a shallow DOF, but still, I think it might have been interesting to try.

I like the detail on the trunk and the 3 dimensional feel this has.

good work - stands out amongst the mediocre images in the challenge. The touch of blue adds a nice feeling of movement.

I love the simplicity with a clear message.
