Old chair in front of wooden shutters.
Overcast evening natural light only so used mini-bendy tripod thingy and 'night time moon' setting on camera.
Two layers: colour layer with standard curves etc tweaking blended at 84% (multiply) with contrasty duotone underlayer.
Usual resizing etc.

I just love this picture...I'm not sure how it will do since it isn't "obvious" tacks, it's just so beautiful...the rich brown tones, the light, I could go on and on...I'm giving this a 10.
This is very good, straight forward. Highlights on the tacks, Maybe a little on the deep sepia side which I think hides details, but I wasn't there, so I don't know but you get top marks from me
I'm quite taken by this low-key and totally sideways approach to the challenge. Virtually everyoen else is focusing on the "pointiness" of their tacks, here we see them as retainers or delimiters, not penetrators. I hope this does well.
Excellent textures in this shot. I like the colors just as they are as well. I would only say that the tacks do not stand out enough as the main focus of this photograph, yet well executed. 7
