Sensative Touch

Won't comment on the spelling :-) Good illustration of available textures. Especially like the metallic plastic you've caught on the surface of the mouse. Well lit (but those two things are pretty much the same really). Doesn't hold the interst everso long as a photograph however - just perhaps not enough interest in the subject.

Having trouble seeing any detail in this. I hate the plethora of comments about thing being too dark sometimes, but I've looked at this under a number of different brighness settings and can't really get much visible. Those few reflections give quite a strong sense of texture though - of harness, of being cut from stone.

The magic of light
by Flipper

Comment:
Not a bad go, of its type. Can't recall ever seeing one of these CD reflection shots doing that well here, which i think is a little odd given the prettiness of those refractions. As an interpretation of texture this takes some knowledge to fit in, and its an approach that I don't think many others have taken (nor will understand, I fear).

Smooth
by orussell

Comment:
Good light, and a good capture of a sense of smoothness on the box. Leaving that glass half out of shot seems a poor decision on the face of it, and I can't see what purpose it serves in compositional terms. Kind of dull subject matter, really: without the text, would there be anything to hold the eye?

blending in

Comment:
Poor. Badly over-exposed and dreadfully lit anyway. very small, but even so the quality of the image remains distinctly dodgy. No real sense of feeling at all.

textures of an egg carton

Good. Great sense of plasticity, great sense of tone. the regular composition works very well too: strong graphic element to hold the eye, and a sense of depth to give some relief (in both emotional and topographic meanings). Not perhps something I'd want to buy, but ought to place highly, and technically assured work.

Soft-white Swan
by qnjt

Comment:
Very good. I think you've just allowed some areas of feathers to get away from you in terms of exposure, though tricky when it's still got its young feathers on its neck. great sense of the furry neck feathers, a touch less successful with the pure white back feathers.Composition is a bit odd - cropped so close to the curve of the neck, and that loop of the neck only bringing the eye to centre of the frame.

Tactile Defense
by fisheye

Comment:
aha - a spiky green thing photograph that isn't as ugly as sin for once. Good capture of the little leaves, as well as of the rough surface beneath. Kind of gives more feeling of reflection than illumination, which I think makes the surface llok harder than perhaps it is, and the very finest level of detail is not quite present - that sense of subtlety that really good lighting brings.

Agave
by carlacryptic

Comment:
Weird - is that desaturation, or is it really grey? Good on the patterning, and the spines of the leaves, but lacking a sense of surface texture.

Checkered Wall
by librodo

Comment:
Quite contrasty (a good thing), and good on the colour tones. Detailing seems somewhat squashed - as though this were a near 1:1 magnification off the sensor, which loses some sense of feel in the textures.
