hi there from the Critique Club ...

This is a great indoor macro shot ... showing the needles and thread sure does show the size of the subject ... the composition is nice and the DOF shows enough to make an impact of the image. I do like the black background it sets the red foreground off quite nicely .. great detail and sharpness shown in the texture of the pin cushion and the flat heads play a cute part in the actual image of a strawberry and its seeds. great job! ..

A true macro. I like the black background-- it keeps the focus on the pins and cushion. Very nicely done.

Good macro technique. The composition is a little busy for my taste.

quality...i'm just taking a stab, but it seems like there is too much contrast or not enough depth of field because i don't really like how the red weave runs together

Good idea. I thought I was the only one who still has a pin cushion around.
The colors are good, the clarity of the pins, thread is good. Very good photo all around.
