Great placement of the flower with the interesting pattern of the stems. Only thing I can think of to improve this is maybe a different bg choice. I like how that little bud interacts with the shape of the flowers petal.

This is great. The focus and texture of the um... thing is great and I love the colorful oof bg.

Great idea. Could be better with either greater dof or having the focus point in the foreground with the child slightly oof. Also might be improved with a little more of the steps and stonework. I realize that might not have been possible depending on what was going on outside the frame of what you have though.

Great job. dof isn't too shallow. Theres something there besides "just" texture the texture that is there is really good. lighting is good, not too flat. A tiny bit hot on the nose though but not too bad.

Banana Leaves

Well done. Maybe some added interest if you strategically placed a yellow banana just off to the edge. Many of the texture shots shots in this challenge that I find intriguing have great texture but also give me something to focus on besides the texture. It sort of breaks up the monotony that way. This one however is one of the best of those that have only texture and nothing else.

You have some great angles going on here with the oof background matching the angle of the flower.

Love the color of the buildings and the balance in the photo with the two red buildings on each side.

Lovely job with the slower shutter speed. The key to these shots is having something it it that is in focus (which you have).

greater dof and something added to the shot to give the eye somewhere to rest might work better.
