I really like your composition but I think the depth-of-field is just a bit too shallow.

I don't like the dof on this one. It might have been better if the nailhead itself were in focus.

I don't understand how you got such a narrow DOF. It kind of looks artificial. Maybe if it had been a bit wider and gradual, the textures of the wood and the nail(which looks to be great) would've stood out more.

Neg. space is good. The focus on this shot is really odd and unfortunately, not in an interesting way (IMO). Maybe a bit deeper DOF. I do like the b&W.

What a delicious line the plane of focus makes...

Why the ultra thin DOF?

Simple and almost abstract very nicely handled.

Nice comp, however the dof is a little too narrow - you might think about reducing the aperture to gain some of that back...

I take it the blurred areas are negative space? Interesting take on the challenge.

wow, this seems to me like it would've fit better in the macro challenge,
just my opinion. a brilliant photo though... cool vignetting and great black and white conversion!
