Very pretty. I like the DOF you used. The light source (natural one of course) yielded very pretty shadows on the wood, but did a disservice by creating that shadow from the bolt on the washer.

Composition - wise, this could be made more exciting by following the rule of 3rds - do not place your subject so close to the center. I don't see how you can crop this one to achieve the effect, but you could experiment with re-shooting the same scene from a different angle, placing the nut&bolt more towards the lower left, perhaps. I find the shades on the wood much more interesting than the blurred background on the left.

Now, I am still under the influence of the recent Ansel Adams challenge, and I am thinking more in terms of the clear and sharp b/w photos, hence the reccomendation to kill the blurred background and get more of the wood in the frame.

I hope this helps,

Suggestion: just take the shot in color & convert to B&W on your computer. That way, you only have to get it "right" one time.

I like this. I would love to see it in color though. I think the nut and bolt would have a lot more character.
