Spiral Nail by jayberg

Spiral Nail

This is an experiment in 'minimalism'....just a picture of a nail. Nothing else, just one nail from the box.

When does it stop being a nail and become a screw?
Nice lighting.

This is a a great shot....I have the same questions as Karen. How creative of you to take a spiral nail and make it great!

@tigerdreamer @marytj Spiral nails need to be hammered in. The spirals aren't deep or sharp enough to be turned in. They have great holding power and help prevent splitting of the wood. Glad you liked the shot. Tks

Ha Ha I've been having a bit of a guessing game trying to decide if you were a woman or a man based on your photos. That answer sounds very manlike.

Amazing capture. Light, shadow, texture, subject all combined into a terrific photo!

Less is better! That's my motto and I'm sticking to it! Great photo and you really got the lighting and shadows perfect. Just goes to show that we don't have to look very far for a wonderful prop and photo. :)

I like the light here! It brings out the texture of the nail and cast a very interesting shadow. Nice shot!
