(1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) Well composed. The funky colors are what makes this photo special. The colors are what makes this photo stand out, as well as the interplay between the tacks and their shadows.

(2) BACKGROUND The background is perfect for this photograph, and the texture is very interesting.

(3) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL I wish the tacks were sharper (focus) as this is the one biggest complaint that i have with this image.

(4)MEETING THE CHALLENGE This photo does a very good job of meeting the challenge. Unfortunately with the focus problem and the lighting problems, there is little to hold the attention of the viewer.

(5) MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO This is a photo that might be worth rteshooting, Concentrate on focus and lighting, and play with the colors a bit to find an end image that you would be proud of.

Interesting idea, though the focus on the tacks is a bit soft for my taste, also I find the blue textured background to be a bit overpowering.

out of focus... I think you were too close to your subject for the lens to focus... try backing up and cropping afterwards

I see no tacks in this image. ;) I really wish this image was more in focus. If this had been (scuse the pun) tack sharp, I probably would have given it a 9. Like the lighting effect and the background used. 6 may bump later.
