Green and Gold

I think I see where you're going with this, but you'd pretty much have to have a clear-cut area with stumps and trees to pull it off. Even a gray squirrel or some other wildlife would have helped.

Distraught over conflict

Good idea, but there's really no element in focus. Had the foreground girl been in sharp focus, this would have been far better.

Thanks to all who commented! I knew the exposure and contrast on this could have been better, but I couldn't exactly tell a tired 18 month old to hold the pose. The baby may compete with the texture, too (but the challenge was only to make the viewer feel texture). I certainly didn't expect a top-10 finish, but what's the deal with the 1 and 2 votes? Is Stevie Wonder participating? ;-)

This is more about motion than texture to me. Dark area on the right is distracting.

Excellent work. I like the soft light on the ears and feet- fuzziness alone wouldn't have been enough. One of the best this week. 8

"Berry Smooth"

Berry nice. It's a shame you didn't have a fresher berry (not that it doesn't have its own texture).

Sharp objects demand sharp focus.

Hard to show texture with a silhouette! This is only shape. Pretty color, though. This would score well under a more appropriate challenge.

Nice contrast of smooth and fuzzy. Maybe some late afternoon sunlight would have deepened the texture of the carpet, and brought out richer colors.

Stunning photo, but it doesn't exactly say 'texture' to me.
