In response to your request for comments:

It's simple, but to me seems a bit 2-dimensional (perhaps if you shot it closer or maybe this one would have worked better in color). The centered composition doesn't work well for me because the rope is not symmetrical (in fact it looks a bit tilted/lopsided, and the centered composition highlights that.). I have never tried a rope shot, so it's harder for me to describe what would have worked better compositionally, but I have seen some that really had impact on me, so perhaps you can search for ones that strike you around here, and on PhotoPoints (where I think I've seen some really good ones).

The tone is good, it's just dark enough to show the details and textures of the rope. I'm wondering if this was shot a little too close to the background material as the background seems to have some texture too, or it could be the wisps from the rope. Almost looks like a noose!

It's a good simple image, but it needs more contrast to make the background black.

I believe it is called 'coiled up' in marine terms. Simplicity and elegance. The frame is a bit too light.

Simply nice. Good Frame. What was your light Source.
