Lighting lighting lighting. On-board flash has absolutely wiped out any sense of texture - lighting from the same direction as the camera is inevitably going to do that, and in this case it's not even too much fill, it just appears to be the sole source of light here. because of that, this communicates little sense of texture.

Indistinct. Sure the focus is OK, but the lighting is dreadfully flat, there's almost no sense of depth at all, those small glimpses of the skin seem peculiarly toned, and those patches along with that blue stuff upset what is an apparently un-though-out composition anyway.

A Taste of Pollen

There's a haziness across this that's annoying - like fogging on a lens. That seems to have muted the detail too, which is a pity in a neat composition.

Driftwood

Comment:
Hmm. Like a canyon landscape. great depth of detail, great lighting at last (so few seem to understand that). I find the topmost section or piece of wood it seems perhaps too dissociated from the rest of it to be really coherent in this composition. The darkness might hurt you in general, but not from here.

Caught that foamy rubbery feel quite well. Don't find it a terribly appealing subject however, doesn't hold my interest long.

Sunrise - Panorama Point

Comment:
Quite good balance compositionally, though maybe too rigidly orthodox. Quality of light is good, but putting that shadowed cliff top right of frame is an odd choice. Besides the scree on that slope, don;t get much feel of texture.

does little for me, this. I'd say your biggest problem is the lighting - you've communicated little or no sense of the feel of the ball - and surely, especially an old ball, ought to have a great feel?

Small image. My feeling is that this emphasises the patterning rather than the texture. Subtle, but impotant difference.

Shattered Glass

Comment:
difficult to look at - both to find a point for the eye to rest, and actually in the purely physical sense of perceiing anything ot be in focus - only in the very top of frame can I find a place where i think ican get hold of something in frame. As with so many shots, a sense of patterning rather than of texture.

Feel My Bumps

What you ahev shown here is the patterning of the tree, rather than the texture of it - sure there are shadows in the bigger cracks, but what about the shadows that would let us see the smaller graduations of the surface texture - likewise there's a movement of colour through the frame, but the intensity of light seems even throughout, even at a quite detailed level. Hardly anywhere do i get a sense of roughness/smoothness.
