Depending on other shots in a "candid" challenge. I'd start this out at about a 6.

Very good. I like the shadow also...may be just a tad OOF where it counts. Part of his tongue looks perfectly in focus though.

Hmmmm very good shot. I will give a 6 to start because there are many shots in the challenge with very good "texture" in the subject. I like your shot, I can see the texture of the ground on the left and right but no real texture on what seems like the subject, the boardwalk or pier.

I will come back after voting on the rest. This may go to an 8 but I will have to check out others.

I like this photo but I'm not sure about the texture aspect. I may come back later.

This is a very good shot. However, I gave this a 6. I may come back to score higher but I'm not sure. There are many good texture shots in the challenge that truly show "genuine" texture of an "object". While this shot shows much "texture", the texture looks processed or "painted in". I know this is advanced editing and almost anything is fair game, but I'm not sure how to score this against the other shots in the challenge.

On a "free study" challenge I would give this a 10 or even 11 if that were possible. On the texture challenge I'll start with a 6 and come back later.

Good Luck,
