I tried to think of something that could embody simple, yet have other areas of dynamic so hopefully the image wouldn't be too boring. We'll see if I captured it. I contemplated doing it in B&W but the tones were too close for any contrast to be noticable.

Can't get much simpler than this. Good job overall, but if you forgive the pun, the base of the nail is not "tack sharp", and I think it should be here. (Also, the line in the background competes.)
This is a great shot, you captured the detail perfectly, the only thing that I could possibly critque on this shot would possibly be the line across the back where your background meets other than that I see a wonderful shot 9
Technical: Most all images submitted fit the challenge, but for me this one fits especially well. Exposure composition focus lighting all great. The hint of a horizon adds to the composition nicely.
Personal: I love the lean, I love the absence of colors, an all around great shot.
