      Technical: 8
      Dof is appropriate but I would like to see the larger version to examine the sharpness of the foreground object. I like the toning that fits the sucject.

      Composition: 8
      Well done strong composition.

      Impact: 8
      It draws the attention. Thanks to the perfect dof this image works. I like the minimalistic look and the cold colouring that adds some mood.

      Commercial Viability: 8
      I always comment creativity here. Paradoxically it is difficult to do something original with macro photography. But your work stands out and it is already an achievement. A nice addition to the short series that I have seen in your portfolio.

      It seems to be a strong "8" image for me.

      Technical: 7
      Although just with the small size available it seems the foreground object looses some sharpness at the lateral edges because of very shallow dof, even at f8... I'm not sure if this is a more or less feature. Good exposure and toning.
      Composition: 9
      Interesting macro composition, with the second object replicating the first one in an opposite direction, like an unfocused mirror image. Good use of dark background.
      Impact: 8
      Interesting image from thumbnail to this available size, mostly because of it's simplicity and creativity.
      Commercial Viability: 8
      Stapples Office Center, or something like that :)

      Could you tilt the focal place some so the the focus runs from the tip of the the front pin through the front edge of the tack?

      kidding. very cool shot.

      Hi I’m a moderator from the portfolio pro group and you don’t have the required number of crits for this image. I hope you don’t mind but I'm going to fill in for you.

      Technical: 7 good sharp central objects. I like the shallow dof although it does seem post processed just a tad.
      Composition: 4 at first it strikes me as good but once I get around the good dof I begin to have troubling issues with the composition. For me the central interest has balance but its centre of gravity doesn’t seem to work for me. I also would have arranged the out of focus reflections in the distance differently or even cloned them out to clean up the comp.
      Impact:5 initially good but the problems in the comp minimise this somewhat.
      Commercial Viability: 5 not really sure here. It’s a good still life but again the composition doesn’t help.
