Nice color but just too small.

I think the color saturation and dead center placement of the building distracts from the composition.

This looks like it's a great photo but too bad I can't see it too well. The photo was scaled way too small.

This may get a higher vote if the depth of field was a bit sharper.. maybe you intended the background to be much sharper but for this challenge it looks a bit off.. sorry!

There are no TACKS in this image! ;) Great point of view. Am I looking at a deck? The stuff in the back is a little distracting but it is an interesting image none the less. 6 from me!

Too small. You can use 640x640.

Besides the small size, it seems out of focus.

can barely see the tacks, the gloss detracts from the shot.

Sorry if I seem harsh but I can´t give this anything but a 2 and the only reason I am not giving it a 1 is that it seems on topic as I am guessing those are tacks that are in the floorboards. The image is horribly out of focus, totally uninteresting and poorly framed and to me it seems like this shot is made by accident as if the camera shot this itself as you dropped it on the floor. Again, sorry if I seem harsh but this is a very bad image. My tips on how to improve for next time is to have the main subject (in this case the tacks in front) in focus, try to light it more evenly next time. This can be done by using a tripod and take the picture with a slower shutterspeed to get the dark parts in the picture brighter and turn off the flash to make the front of the floorboards darker and lit the same way as the rest of the floorboards. Lastly, find a more interesting subject, ask yourself, is this something you would proudly hang up on a wall? My guess is no and if that is the case, you need to put in a better effort. Anyway, I have a gut feeling you can do better, now go out and prove me right and enter a better image in the next challenge.

Again, apologize if I seem harsh but I mean this in the best way possible, feel free to PM if I offended you in any way.

This is a really nice photograph. Like the colors, composition. Just wish it were a little larger so I could see more detail.
