Very nice detail, great focus and composed well. I find the green background a tad oversaturated and somehow competes with the subject. Great shot nonetheless.

Great subject! There is a lot fo interest in this shot, and the depth of field does an excellent job of directing your attention. I can almost feel the rope pulling on that bent screw eye. Really enjoyed this image!

Nice feeling of tension created here.
I think a little wider focus would have helped it out a bit. The left hand part of the wood and part of the bolt seem out of focus. While the rope and central wood seem to be your main focus. It's a little distracting but it's a minor flaw in an otherwise very nice shot.
The color of the rope is rather unappealing. The depth of field is exactly right. I guess I would like more positive and less negative space. I understand about the balance on the bend in the rope, but circles of confusion, even of nice foliage, occupy pixels which could be helping to tell the story.
