I like how you angled some of the staples so that they're not all facing one direction. Gives a little more depth to the shot. Nice!

A city at sunset! I would like to have seen a better sky.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Wonderful idea and great lighting. A black background or a print of a night sky for the background would have made this image complete.

What I like: Great idea, warm tones are very pleasant

What might improve it: a different background, probably not in focus.

I am sure you would disagree or you wouldn't have entered the photo in this challenge, but IMO DNMC. Still, I like the photo. The staples look like a city lit up at sunset. If the background were plainer and darker, it would have enhanced the effect. Very creative!
