Tacking Apart ...

Are we to conclude that this tack is feeling blue because it is all alone? It strikes me as a beautiful shot visually. And the fact that it works in a metaphorical way makes it much stronger.

Woody abuse! Woody abuse! The color palette works nicely. And it's a nice take on the theme.

Intersting. I'm wowed at the inclusion of that big white shaggy blanket thing which fills almost half the frame. It somehow MAKES the photo; although after considerable reflection, I'm not clear about its connection to the tacks. Nice shot.

Remiinds me of the Letterman segment 'Will it Float?' Great composition, lighting exposure. Nice, simple idea.

A Tack Dog ... (get it?)

Boy am I scared! Cute idea. Nicely framed. Good choice of bright light, short focal length lens. Although the dog's face more than fills the frame, I am left with a sense of emptiness here. Somehow the dog - in his choice of expression - has subverted the photographer's intent and has become the background, and suddenly the tack is too small. That's just what I see.

I know it should be a quibble, but the tack is the 'focal point' of the photo and if it is not pretty, it's like a long joke with no

A beautiful image. I love the fact that it tells a story, one of our relationship to tacks ( and metaphorically to tax.) I love the lighting and the composition. I love the way we see the texture of the skin, the floor, and the tack; and the way all else is is blurred. Placing of the curtain in the photo is perfect. This strikes me as masterful work in every way. Bravo.
