| Thanks, Heather! :) I really appreciate it! I haven't gotten out of the 5's yet, but I'm still trying! :) |

I like the simplicity of this image. I wish you could have found a way to make a whiter background work though. I think it would go nicely with the clear tack. A whiter background would make the tip stand out a bit more I think, and that would be a good thing.
I like the focus and clarity here. I think that the detail in the tack is fine in my opinion.
The shadow is a slight bit distracting, I can really picture this as a high key kind of thing with no shadows and white background. I think it is the area along the bottom of the tack that makes me want to see it all this way. See how it is a little 'too bright' compared to the rest of the shot? I think instead of wishing that were darker, I wish the rest of the photo were lighter. Doesn't usually happen that way for me, but I think this could be good like that.
I like the angle and framing/cropping you chose. having the pin at a diagonal creates visual appeal and with the large part of the pin toward the upper left, it also offsets it enough to not appear 'dead center'.
Overall I think this is a really good shot, nice to look at and well done. ~Heather~ |

| Very simple and very nice. One thing I did with my entry that I think would have made this even stronger would have been to burn in the shadow a bit. It would have added more dramatic contrast. Love the clarity and simplicity. Beautifully done. |

| Clean and simple. I like it. You're probably taking a little heat for not having 'Tacks' (plural), but it's fine in my book. The bottom front of the pushpin is a bit hot, but tricky to avoid. It looks like you used white paper for the background and it's coming across a little noisy. You know it's not, but the paper makes it appear that way. Neat Image could have ironed that out a bit for you. Overall, great job. Good luck! |

| I get your point but there are no TACKS in this image! ;) Excellent focus, good macro. I think it would be better with a different color background - the white overwhelms the image. But the composition and POV are good. 7 from me! |

| It seems your DOF is too shallow and that the tip is ever-so-slightly out of focus. I'm guessing some will say the light is too harsh, but I think it works. |

| This is a great stock image, although I view the challenge as Plural, more than one tack. |

| Given the title you seem to have centered the focus in the wrong place. |
