Nice texture capture. Well focused. Pleasing DOF. Colors are good. But what is OSB?

Windows - the texture in architecture
by biggusignoramus

Beautiful abstract. Fits very well the theme. Nicely exposed, leveled, cropped and presented. Among the best in the challenge IMO, but I fear it will be outside the "conventional" definition of texture and score poorly as a result. Hope I'm wrong.

Can't wait to see how you did this. Excellent work!

Me and Silky

I like photos that carry an emotional payload and this one certainly does. I worry that the subject may make a lot of people pretty uncomfortable and that it will not score well as a result. But in my view, it's well done. Meets the challenge. And deserves a good score. Best of luck.

Great focus on the water and the leaf refracted through it. Not very much emphasis on texture though.

I suspect this is a terrific image, but its small size makes it hard to appreciate. Try to use all 640 pixels in your submissions.

I would prefer to see a bigger image. Easier to see the detail.

Pappa's Last Breaths

I like this very much.

That being said, you will resonate with it because of the context. It is personal to you. You have a lifetime to build context. I do not. Max, I gave this image 3.4 seconds. Unfair? Certainly!

Make it personal for me and I'll give you 30 more seconds and a better score.

Sorry to be direct. I do not mean to be hurtfull.

This is a worthy photo but diminished by the stark and (probably over processed) backgound and by the reflection. Nice commercial art and I can visualize it in an ad, but not here.

This was a risky photo which I liked very much! I had hoped it would ribbon but it was under apreciated by the voters in my opinion. Keep thinking creatively. I know you have more ribbons in you!
