Critique Club
Composition: The composition here is actually quite good. Lot's of interesting nails and bits and pieces, as well as some lovely detail in the timber behind them.
Technical Quality: Technically I think this image suffers most from a lack of sharpness. Given the long shutter time I hope a tripod (or some stand) was used. Otherwise, perhaps the focus wasn't quite right (or you may have even been within the minimum focal length of the camera). I like the lighting and exposure of the image. Choosing to use a sepia kind of colouring works very well for this image.
Meeting Challenge: It's definitely a macro - perhaps not as close as a macro of a single nail, but certainly close enough to qualify in my book.
Creativity: It's a nice photo that has a feeling of age about it. I'm sure it reminded lot's of others of their pap's workbenches.
Border / Title: As someone commented - the brown component of the border isn't that good. Perhaps replacing the inner half of the brown with black would have worked (see my Symmetry entry for an example). Having an inner black line helps define the photo I think. The title is very nice - like I said it triggers memories for people.
Overall: It's a lovely subject and the title is good, however the technical qualities need some work - mainly the sharpness / focus. Great otherwise though.

| you have a good idea here, but the lighting needs to be brighter, and something needs to be in focus. |

Critique: because its so out of focus this detracts from the overall quality quite a bit
Praise: great subject matter, good composition and use of multiple textures (wood and metals). I really like these old time images. |

| I think the focus should of been sharper for this shot to show more detail. I do like the idea. Good going. |

| Great group of working material you've got there. Good focus, good lighting, I don't like your brown frame, it mixes in too much with the picture itself, but the black looks nice. Good idea for the challenge. |
