beautiful, the best string/needle in this challenge! why? because you have an excellent depth of field, your picture is simple, the colors of the background middle ground and foreground are all linked on the same color! wow! i would have been proud to take this picture. ------->(9)
Nice! Good choice for the challenge. Good DOF (Maybe an idea for the DOF Challenge...) and nice lighting setup. Maybe a tiny bit sharper would be nice (IMO) to bring out a wee bit more detail in the needle and the beginning of the thread.
I would have liked the reel to have been a bit closer, or a shade more in focus. The wee white spot/mark on the blue thread is a little offputting. Good shot though! 8
Now don'tcha wish you'd saved this for "Shallow DoF"? LOL.
Nice composition, like the deep blue thread. Just the right amount of blur on the thread spool, IMO. Good luck!
