I would have scored this a 4 as well for many of the same reasons already given.
One thing that would help a shot like this is lighting. In this shot the light is very flat and therefore is not helping to bring out or accentuate the details. |

Posting comments as asked for in the "Wooden" thread.
If this were posted as a challenge entry, I would probably give it a 4. It's a fairly mundane subject, so something needs to happen to make it more interesting to the viewer. Keep in mind, it's just a knot of wood, so you need to approach it in a way that catches the viewer's attention.
From a technical perspective, your DOF is too shallow, causing the knot to be the only thing in focus. I think the shot would be more "dramatic" if everything were in sharp focus.
Some insight into how I vote (and probably not so different from a lot of others):
Starting out: 5
--Technical issues: -1 (for focus)
--Composition: 0 (It's not bad, but it's not eye-catching either)
--Subjective Interest: 0 (this subject simply is what it is, there's nothing terribly fascinating about it)
I hope this helps.

At the risk of sounding harsh...it's a bit of a yawn. I'm not to wild about the dof either. I generally don't like to see big sections of blur right up front, as it does weird things to my eyes. Overall, not a terribly interesting subject. 4
