Great shot you really captured the detail in the wood and lead. The blue back ground is a nice touch.

Wow! Bigger than real life. Nice composition on the diagonal. Shallow dof nicely used. Focus is where it's needed. Nice job.

Good use of composition and lighting, nice effect. Interesting patchy background. I'm guessing that you used a Canon 10D with a 50 millimetre F 1.8 lens and extension tubes.

Comment by W.R.Miller:
Nice sharp point. Nice clarity and sharpness. Might have been a little crisper toward the top if a smaller aperture was used but really small apertures are sometimes hard to come by on digital cameras. You may have used a small aperture but the DOF is so shallow because of being so close to subject too.(?) I have tried this type of show in the past without much success so I am impressed. Good luck with the challenge!
