Hi MCsaba. I like the composition here. The abstract feel of the shot with the only real identifier being the nail. Positioning and shadow work to good effect with the composition. If I had to be really picky, which I don't, I'd say the sharpening of the image has made it too harsh for my eyes otherwise I can see it as a massive print on a wall inviting calm introspection for the viewer. Well done. I'd love to see this with the sharpness toned down. Keep it up - I'm really liking your work.

I like the abstractness of this; the bold lines are quite striking.

MCsaba, I really like the composition, perspective, and sense of texture here...nice play of light and shadow. The long shadow cast from the nail really grabs the eye the way it transects two of the other straight shadow lines. This makes for a really interesting abstract to look at. Nice photo. MFC
