I think you should have scored higher, although I'm not surprised that it didn't. Don't be discouraged by the rankings - this photo has a lot of merit. And any "imperfections" in the pattern you've captured really don't matter to me because this is a photograph of a real environment - it definitely does not have a doctored "post-card" feel to it. And at the same time you've got amazing fractal-like patterns in there. It's got the magic of reality rolled into a photo.

Just to explain the small peak of lower scores for this photo, although it is technically good, I think others, like me, found the image as a whole unappealing. In other words, I look at it and don't think: "What a clean photo that shows off texture"; I think: "I would never want to eat this abnormally veined, gray cabbage, and I want better presentation of it" -- it's a little unsettling.

This definitely has a "wow"-factor that I'm looking for. I like how the face almost seems to be smiling, and that you can't quite tell.

This is a beautiful capture of color and pattern. You've got extreme detail patterned around a simple theme. It's hard to choose, but this gets my top vote for the week because of composition and uniqueness.

This is unique among all the entries in that you use symmetry -- and you use it well.

This photo looks much better up close than afar, because up close you can see the skin texture that you've captured well. The lighting makes this photo.
