Greetings from the Critique Club

A fun and inventive way of doing this particular challenge.

I like the incongruity of the background you chose - the velvety green-ness is a wonderful contrast to the harsh tacks.

I would like to see the tacks up a little closer though. I know they're tacks because of the challenge, but if you showed me this photo and I didn't know the challenge, I might be confused.

Fun idea.

The focus on the tacks is exceptional. How did you capture this?

If the background was in focus....I think I'd like this one even more. Really intriguing concept

Okay, you got me on this one! Only problem is there are no tacks in this image. ;) Wonder where they are going? Is that where little tacks come from? Excellent stop capture - I know it couldn't have been easy! 8 from me!

Lol! Good idea and funny but the tacks are too small for this to work 100% IMHO. If you would have had this exact image with a couple of more tacks that were closer and therefore bigger it would really have hit the spot for me but I still like this very much, way better than most in the challenge so I gave it an 7, mostly because of your imagination.

I am hysterically laughing! Too funny. I wish I could vote, I would definately give you a 10 - the title alone is so funny.

Cute idea. If you could pull it off it would be cool to see them in a flying V formation.
