Interesting detail making each nail head different.

Nine Nines

Festive array of different colors and sizes, with the hand-made (clay?, Play Dough?) construction suggesting children's play. Lots of implied motion is fun. I half expect the numerals to come to life and arrange themselves into an over all numeral nine. Fun to see, and obviously crafted with thought and care.

Nine

Comment:
Numeral made from nine flowers is a good subject. Details in the flowers are not vry sharp, if not using a tripod consider doing so. In this case, the grass provides considerable detail and high contrast (black in between greens and browns) that pulls the eye away from the flowers -- the square of grass in the left lower corner becomes an alternative main subject competing with the petals.

Nine on the Line- Clothespin

Comment:
Simple and graphic, sharp and enahnced by b/w treatment. I'm glad you show just a bit of the upper coils of the clothspin spring, as that goes well with the detail in the center of the loop. Should score well.

The coins are mostly sharp and stacked in an interesting way. Light is a bit harsh suggesting that a diffuser was not used. I think a less complex background would be an improvement, even if just a sheet of white typing paper.

Clever approach to having the lines sag. Love the 9 that got off the paper.

Nice light, framing, and b/w conversion.

It is fun speculating ahead of the challenge about likely subjects and then seeing them show up as predicted. I wonder how this would look with the foreground balls all darker colors to make the 9 ball more dramatic.

Simple curved numeral, but the bright lighting and harsh shadows take away from the main subject. Hard to give specific advice without knowing the constraints you had to deal with.

Hot Wheels - Nine Volts of Power

Good trick getting the steering wheel to stick there at the proper position. Red glow underneath gives it a sense of energy.
