 Living in a country that's not your home is not easy. Especially today.

Used basic photoshop to enhance - levels, curves, and rubber stamp to get rid of a couple distracting dots.

Nice lighting, and I love the way the red one is perfectly sharp while the others are soft. Nice control.

Wow. This is highly amusing! Anthropomorphizing tacks. Unfortunately there are no tacks in this image. ;) I like this. It speaks to me of the human condition and what we must endure. And its a pretty good picture. 8 because I like it.

This pleases me no end. I love the very unusual shape of these pushpins, the gentle, ruminative softness of the image. It's not easy to make a philosophical, humanist statement with a line of pushpins, but you've succeeded.
