The drawing pin (thumb tack) is on a sheet of glass with white card beneath, a second sheet of card is behind. Two flashes were used, a 550EX on camera to provide the fill beneath the head and a slave flash fired from above to create the shadow. A polariser was also used to minimise the reflection from the glass.

OK....i'll try to forgive the spots to the right of the subject and the possible abrasions under it as well...was shot as dropped or is there some physics going on behind the seen....if dropped its a nice capture and if physics the effect is very good. Excellent except for the aforementioned items.
Nice clear shot. Good twist to have it in air, but it's less dynamic than it could have been if a bit further up. While you did a very good job on this meeting the challenge, with some flare, I don't think it's as interesting a subject as many have found here. (Though this is one of the better nail theme shots in the challenge!)
