Margarine on a knife
by andywightman

Comment:
I was going to dismiss this one at first, but all the interesting shapes and textures of the margarine caught my eye and I studied it more. I also like the pit marks in the knife. nice details. I do like this shot, but something about the table edge in the background doesn't quite work for me. Anyway, congrats on an interesting intepretation of the challenge.

neat image. the crackers up close an in black and white have a lunar landscape feel to them.

great car macro image. I think this would be better for a shapes or geometry challenge than texture though. Next time, consider using a polarizer to help cut down on the glare and reflections of the lights and windows on the glass lenses of the headlights. nice job.

congrats on the ribbon Jorg! I love the details in this image, like the coal dust under the fingernails. Great use of negative space as well. Your work continues to be among my favorites!
