This is a nice composition but I don't think the image quality is quite there.It seems like it could be sharper. This photo doesn't really seem to be about exploring texture. I'm getting very little sense of texture from it.

Very nice color and detail. Since this is Advanced Editing, I would have cloned out the bits in the top and lower left corners of the frame for a completely black background. I don't care for the thin red border.

Very good exposure and image quality. I like the color. I'm not crazy about the horizontal format. I wonder if this would be better rotated 90 degrees clockwise?

Colorful and fun subject matter. I like the composition. I think there is a bit too much glare and shadow though.

A little too contrast for me but good cropping.

I like the subject and the exposure is good, if a bit contrasty. I think it could be cropped a bit at the top and bottom edges.

Excellent lighting and great capture of detail. I'm not crazy about this composition. I would rather see the smaller flanking one of the other shells rather than placed in the middle. I feel like the shells should be arranged to form the classic triangle shape a still-life painting. This arrangement looks a bit literal and soldierly to me. Also, I'm not sure if the reflections work that well, although they probably would if the shells were arranged more as a group.

Very good portrait and a handsome subject. Very direct and intelligent gaze. It draws you in. Great capture of the texture. Those look like the eyebrows of a Scot or Irishman. I wonder if I'm correct? :D I'm not finished voting but this should be in the top 5.

This is weird. I can't figure out what the black, shiny blob in the palm is. The missing digit really makes this odd. At first glance I thought this was a baseball glove. It's a very good capture of texture, I'll give you that. :D Very good lighting. I just don't relate to the asthetic (and I've been missing 1/4" of my right middle finger since I was 6 :D).

Interesting subject and decent capture of texture. I'm never crazy about extremely narrow cropping though.
