Greetings from the Critique Club!

Nice and sharp, the off-centred composition works, good textures, and the colours are poppy. Personally I wouldn't have told voters what the item was - guessing what something is part of the fun. Glad to see you took care to get the wb correct, a lot of people are content to let the camera's auto wb do all the work.

However I think your exposure time was a little too long, and without something to diffuse the glare from any kind of bulb, you're going to get some glare as you can see in the highlights. f.22 seems a little much, as does ISO 800; a tiny aperture and a high ISO, combined with a long exposure time..why? ISO 100, f.5.6 and 1/10th probably would have been more than adequate and helped kill those glarey bands of highlight.

Hope this helps

Susan

Without looking at the title, this appears to be a close-up (rather than a macro) of some rope.
