Looks like one of those acrobat acts where like 16 people are all balanced on one guy on the bottom! Unique concept, great shot!

Nice. Wonder how it would look with more blue empty space on the right-hand side. This must've been some work to compose!

Cool, unique, and original. But there are no TACKS in this image! ;) Wow - the sharpness is great in this image. Composition and color good. Excellent POV. 8 from me!

Would have been a little better (maybe) if the razor had some direct light reflecting off it.

Creative and well executed. The focus is dead on and the lighting works well. An interesting concept. One of my favorites.

Conceptually, sharp as a tack. Technically, pretty blah to me. BG is forgettable, and one would have liked to see lighting that enhanced the sense of sharpness on the razor's edge.
