Greetings from the Critique Club[/b
[b]Initial thoughts/My opinion
Great clear concept well executed. Like the shininess of the thread. The needle suffers from artifacts. Was surprised to see a German title!
Content/Composition
I do like how you arranged the few elements of your image: very clear and right on the topic. The way you set the light is just great: the reflection on the thread make the image. What amazes me is the levels curve of this image: almost only dark black and just a few bright elements. There are not many shades of gray in it. I do like that.
As mentioned by you, the needle does stand back against the rest and it suffers from jaggiest coming from the down-sizing.
Camera work -technically
You know how to handle your camera, can't see anything to need mentioning here.
Digital Processing - Technical
As already said, the needle does not come out too good due to the jaggies on it. A tighter crop might have worked here; however, the image balance would have been disturbed.
Fits the challenge
Yes, it fits very well.
Good luck for your upcoming submissions

| Dont understand the title, although the shot is good. The white of the thread spool really stands out well. |

| Great title, and a nice capture. Very well done. Only thing I'd address is the needle. It looks a little bit oversharpened on my monitor. Maybe the compression? Doesn't quit look linear. |

| I like the simplicity of htis and you have done an excellent job of capturing the detail in the thread. It really adds to the shot, I think. |

| Would be better if the thread stood out a little more from the background. |

| I like the contrast here, but wish there was a bit more midtones to break up the extreme coloring. Also, the image appears to have been over-sharpened. |

| Could use a little more contrast between thread and background. A spot or two of noise in the picture as well. |

| Good one ... not much more to say about it ... give you 9 because it is not perfect but very close ... some editing in photoshop could do the magic |

| Good picture though the needle should have looked sarper and a little brighter. |

| I submitted a thread and needle pic on this challenge and this is by far the best of all those submitted. 10. The black and white composition works perfectly. |
