The Lonely Nail

Hi there! Here's a new photo, I hope you like it! Your review and opinion is greatly appreciated!

Description: Lying on the wooden cracks of the pier, a lonely nail feels the salty breeze of the sea. Its days are numbered, it rusts away, whispered back to nature by the wind.

I like the angle, but I wasn't exactly sure what I was looking at, at first. The snail kind of blends in with the pier so it makes this picture hard to get interested into. The picture is kind of plain but I see what you're trying to get at here... I think that maybe the picture could use more color. Hope this helps..

I think you've got a good angle and a good setting! I don't mind that it's simple because it adds to the story of the nail. I think the link made the nail feel it's total worth. R.I.P. little nail, R.I.P.

You have some great DOF here, and I absolutely love the tones, but the focal point is almost anticlimactic. The nail blends in with the pier too much. If the theme is loneliness, the nail needs to stick up on its own. To feel isolated. As it is, it's clutching the pier, with altogether too much life. To symbolize dying (if that's what you want... taking from your description) I would put it into something and have it look like it's slowly being worn down or falling sideways or something. That it's in the process of being defeated.

Just my thoughts. It's still a good shot, so great job!

Hey
You have some nice DOF here, which is always nice to see, but your focal point is too subtle. I didn't notice the nail until you wrote about it, which isn't a good sign.
I'd maybe recommend retaking, but maybe getting closer to the nail so it's more obvious? Or maybe cropping the bottom 1/3 out so the nail is more obvious too.
Not very helpful, but other than the too subtle nail, technically, it's a good photograph.

Helloo again my friend! XD
I remember looking at this picture but I can't remember why I haven't reviewed this OO Probably because I wouldn't really have anything to say. But I'm just going to tell you what I think about this, because I want to! XD Okay so I can already tell you that this will probably be a short review because I just really love this picture and have nothing to talk about. XD The colors in this photograph just all fit perfectly and I love how it focuses on the nail and the rest of the picture is kind of blurry.
So yeah, that was all I had to say XD
Great picture and I really enjoyed reviewing this even though it's probably not very helpful
Keep making great pictures!
