Greetings from the Critique Club!
I'm glad I've got one of your images because I think you have a great potential =).
Composition: The tacks have a nice random order, with is interesting to the eye. I think this image would be a little more pleasing if you had a little larger crop to placed the central focus (the tacks) in a rule of thirds intersection. The background you've used is quite interesting too, though I wish it was more colored to true white then it is now. One idea: if you tried a lower angle shot, focused on one of the tacks and maximized the reflection there.
Technical: The first thing that shouts at me is image size. With the camera you have, cropping is not a problem for image size, even if the crop is a very small part of the original. I really like seeing images at the full size of 640 to see all the detail of the image. The image also seems a bit off color, and a tad dark.
Overall: I like the idea, I like the image, but I think with a little more practice/training it could be superb.
There are no tacks in this image. ;) I like that used metallic tacks - the reflections are great. color is a bit off - I would expect the paper to be a little whiter. 7
those are beautiful tacks, and I think you could have done a lot with them. as they are, the composition is confused, the image is too dark, and it's awfully small. a shame, really - (4)
