poor dead turtle. Where are the tacks? ;) Interesting image. Focus is good. The white tack stands out - maybe a different color would lessen the focus on that particular tack. 7 for now, may bump later.
It should be a quibble, but for some reason it strikes me as a major issue: The sepias and blacks of the shell and background are so strong that they make me want to see colors from the same palette - secondary or tertiary colors all a little warm and unsaturated. Not sure whether clear and/or chrome tacks would work. Or if the choice of background limits the choice down to 'brass tacks.'
