I like the shot. Like how the focal point is something very tiny good idea.

A very good angle with an interesting variety of colors in the tapestry itself.

My favourite non black and white shot in the challenge which really does capture the spirit of the competition. Great sharpness (excuse the pun), perhaps would have scored better if the tapestry had been of purely complimentary colours, but I have to say I perfer it like this as the viewer gets the feeling that they are looking at something that is real and not just staged for a photo. 8 from me

I like the angle and the emphasis of the needle.

Good details visible. The light on the needle is a bit harsh, though.

I like the simplicity of the needle, compared to the detail of the tapestry.

Although I'm thinking that's cross-stitch, not weaving, and if you're making a full tapestry, it's gonna take awhile! Nice detail and color.

Great focus, with sharpness where it counts. I wish I could see the hands weaving as it is a bit static as it is.

This is a cool photo but i dont really know where to look. Its all the same except the needle.

I feel the photo would be more interesting with a little wider view point.

I like the picture, but the title bothers me because this is NOT "weaving", it is "needlepoint".

I think if the eye of the needle had been showing this would be a clearer shot. Good capture, colours are true and crisp
