Comment by KaDi:
The subject itself is interesting. Choice to crop out the tip of the nail creates interesting tension along with the limited depth of field. The plain background might create more interest (for me) if the resulting negative space were itself interesting. Think the processing is grainy and the color just a little too unreal--but maybe that's what you were going for...

I like the pure white BG but otherwise it looks a little over processed for my taste. I would have scored it higher a little less processed.

At first when I looked at this I thought the all white background was pretty cool, then as I looked a little longer, I thought maybe it was just too much, then I looked longer and thought maybe it worked, then.... anyway, since I found it so compelling to look at, decided it was very good and...confused? hehehe :-) I am.
Anyway, yes, thought provoking and well done. I like it in the end. A great photo should make you want to look at it for whatever reasons.

complete DoF would have been good, this is just lacking the punch

Would the picture look better if it had a portrait crop? Nice shot anyway.
