Composition wise, you might want to consider haveing the dart more to the left and the empty space on the right hand side for the dart to "fly into". Nice and sharp though and neutral background keeps it nice and simple. Interesting border
I'd like to see either more DOF, or if you're going to keep it shallow I'd prefer the tip in focus over the barrel. Not that I think it's all that easy of a shot to take, just my input.
