Tack

[bnnrcn]

Thank you John. I tried starting an album but although I was able to upload the image to an album, I wasn't able to upload it to my thread Could you please explain how you did it?

Hi Binnur,

Thanks for commenting, you can always start an album on CiC as that is how I got the second image uploaded.

John,
I like the idea of making ordinary objects the subject of extraordinary photos, so I applaud your efforts.
The bright light source casting a long shadow adds interest to the composition, but I keep wondering why the tack was not shown "doing it's job" that is to say handle side up with the point stuck in the surface.

I wonder if John was thinking as I often do of photographing the subject completely out of context of how we typically view or use it.

Hi Robert,

I did a search of push pins and all were orientated in the manner you described. I though I'd something a bit difference; plus I think it adds a bit suspense pointed upwards. Thanks for commenting.

Hi Mike,

See #24, I thought it added a bit of danger and was unique in how the pins are usually displayed.
