very dark, and with very low contrast - by dark I mean tha your brightest pointin this image is really very very grey. Some small sense of skin texture, but that very moderate lighting has not helped display that. But that lack of anything approaching white is doing it more harm than anything.

The Texture of Memory

Comment:
Somehow the high-contrast look of this stone has lost the real feel of the surface of the momument - the text appears almost like print, rather than carving. Not a big fan of the composition either - unbalanced toward the bottom half of frame, I think.

Good muted photo - a sense of the ominous from it - really good definition on the cotton. well framed, well composed, and beautiful lighting. I must say that I don't understand your title however.

Nature's Canvas

Great colours here, and good sense of feel. Despite the interest of those colours, I find this lacks a real sense of subject, of something to catch and hold my attention.

Coaster Art

Comment:
I find this a confising composition - the geometry of these forms is displayed in a slightly too busy manner, with the weight of the composition perhaps too heavily pushed toward the right of frame. Good tonally, and the focus is fine, but whether it's the lighting or the fine detail something has removed a sense of real texture from this to my eye.

Pure texture almost, and really very little else maybe. but as that was the challenge theme ... I find the composition a touch trying, with little to ease the eye through the frame and the subjects. Good effort though.

Tomorrow: Generally sunny. Very cold. High 18F. Winds NW at 10 to 20 mph.

Good work this - and like the title. I think it such a simple composition you mgith need to really centre the eyes both in the gap of the woollen, and more evenly in frame - that left eye is perahps too far out of things. Good sense of the prickly warmth of the wool, and good rendition of the colours - just a touch over-exposed on the white parts of the pattern though.

Really can't make up my mind about this - I've avoided it a fiar bit so far. Good texture in the hair/hat/whatever. Intriguing compositionally, but perhaps overall not interesting. Has a suggestion of a Judge's wig maybe ... sort of disturbing :-) Good entry though, be very intrigued to see where it places.

A touch too confused as a composition for me. Like the tones, like the sense of fragility. Doesn't speak of texture to me exactly, but there is a certain quality of light that I do quite like here.

Zip

Comment:
Good tones, good detail, and a very fine sense of texture - can almost fel the roughness of that wool, and the mtallicness of the zip is well displayed. Strong composition, but without that spark of fascination for me.
