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.

This is a great image, although I view the challenge as Plural, more than one tack.
