Beautiful photo, but is this a tack or a nail?

A very interesting take on the challenge, and an excellent image with great DOF.
Critique: the lower left part has the lighter shade of wood or something else. I would have preferred to see it either cropped or cloned or both.
I also like the light reflection on the top of the tack, but it would have been interesting to see what it would look like with the light source coming from the front-left, illuminating more of the dark areas of the tack. I'm not sure if that would make the whole image better or not, but it would eliminate the shade in the front.

I imagine you're getting beat up a bit for only having on tack instead of being tacks (plural)! ;^) I would love to see this photo win. It's an image that is suitable for framing. I really like the color, the composition with the wood angling across and the tack cutting diagonally the other direction. Good clear focus on the tack. Kudos to you for not taking the funny tack(less) approach to this challenge. Great job, and good luck!

I like this image, excellent colours and DOF but for my personal taste it could have had a little bit more contrast and I would have framed it so that the tack was a little bit more up in the left corner as per the rule of thirds but this is just nitpicking. I gave it an 8 and hope you do well.

Beautiful tack..would love to see it more in context. the background not a wash..but am being picky, and understand you wanted the tack as your focus.

I love the detail in this peice. Plus the angle of it with the rust and age. Up their in my top 4-5.

love the simplicity and the straightforwardness. But there are no tacks in this image. ;) I wish the DOF were greater. 8
