General: The lighting has brought the woodgrain out nicely.

Composition: Placing the knot in the upper 1/3 of the image adds interest however the even number of nails, though balanced, don't seem to work with it. Odd numbers usually work better. That's not to say never use even numbers just that in this composition an odd number of nails may have worked better.

Exposure: Even though the lighting has brought out the grain in the wood, the nails are overly bright. It was probably difficult to balance the exposure of the nails and the wood. A different time of day or a slightly shaded spot may have helped with this balance.

Impact: This is very subjective. The colour and grain of the wood does provide some however the image as a whole does not. A different composition and/or lighting may have helped here.

Nice lighting and highlights. Like the background with these old tacks.

Nope, not at all. I'm not sure if those are really tacks. ;) Clean, clear, straightforward shot. Like the rust. 8

I like this, but admittedly I'd have liked it MORE if you had used a lighter shade of wood (that way the tacks would have stood out more).

if the tacks woul only be on one side of the picture it would look better, this has too much symmetry.
