I would have liked the focus to be the oposite of what it is now for this challenge. I would like the rusted subject to be in focus. the background is interesting, and you could have it either in focus or not, I'd have to see it to tell which would be better. You need to straighten up your horizon. looks like the water is going to runn right off the left side of the photo. give it a slight right rotation and then recrop. ~Heather~
According to your title the nail is the subject, yet it is badly out of focus. This image would have fit the challenge much better if the nail was in focus rather than the rocks and the shoreline. Nice serene scenery, however. Good capture.

Since this pic is called "rusty nail by the sea" I would actually like to see the nail as well. Good job otherwise. Maybe adjust the horizon to be more horizontal.

Wouldn't the nail be the main subject to emphasize "Rusted". Nice pic otherwise.
