This is a good macro shot to me...It has a different kind of dof to it.
Great focus and the way its centered is really what makes the subject stand out showing the shadows and light balancing out. There is just a touch too much though on top of nail, that distracts my eye. Didnt get to vote on this because there were so many, I did comment lots more this time, I think I am getting the hang of it. Hope this helps.

Interesting composition, although it looks set up. Part of the appeal (for me at least) of these sorts of rusty object photos is the "found" aspect. Technically very well done.
