Good illustration of this surface. Rhythmical subjects like this I think either need to be incredibly regular, which this isn't, despite the intricacy and repeating of those patterns, or have something to distrub that pattern to work as a composition; and that element is missing here. I do like the progression of light across the surface though. Just a sense throughout the image that the very finest level of detail is missing - camera, processing or shooting I couldn't say, but it might well be a functions of being a hand-held shot, it has that feel to it.

Brickwork

Comment:
Interesting visula trick as to which section of brick is the one in front. Good texture on that section of facing that's parallel to the light, but the larger plane of brickwork displays no texture at all - oddly enough, it actually looks completely smooth, to the extent that it might even be a painted or printed panel. For a really saitisfying balance of composition, perhaps the right side is taken too far out of frame. Intriguing work though.

Naturally Textured

Comment:
Good colour, on both the fruit and the leaves. Some sense of texture, but the disorganisation of those leaves upsets the puirt of your composition - being so well isolated, and well lit, takes it out of the natural already, and thus makes that randomness an inappropriate seeming element rather than a bonus.

Not enough detailing to really show the feel of the wood. Focussed well enough, but that very fine detail isn't quite coming through. Nice subject, and could have been straighter in frame really.

Another good rhythnic composition - sense of metl from the reflections. I wonder if less directly front-on lighting might have given a more profound sense of real texture, rather than a patterning.

Could have emphasised the texture more - this light is very flat. without that sense of feel, it makes for a pretty uninteresting shot I'm afraid. The sense of looming out of the dark might have been well done, but you've cropped too closely to let that impression form properly.

great sense of texture. not wholly convinced about that stalk at the contrary angle - serves to break what might otherwise have been a pretty dull composition, but I'm also not sure that it mightn't have been a beautifully simple composition.

Better than most.Very good on the lacing, not wholly convinved by the composition. Has real mood, which puts it above the field to start with.

Margarine on a knife

Interesting shape. background shows a lack of planning, and distracts from the concentration of attention on that marge. Lighting is not bad to shaow the texture of teh stuff.

Brick and Roses
by banmorn

Comment:
Nice thinking, nice idea for a contrast of textures. compositionally, I don't think this works - the relative angles of the two subjects is unharmonious, and the exclusion of so much of the rose (and perhaps also of the brick, though less so) seems restrictive. Your lighting hasn't allowed very much of the textures to come though however - it seems too general, not allowing those little graduations of surfaces to show.
