Wrought Iron

5 - Like the concept and composition, colors are nice. To me, the strongest textures captured here are the orchid petals and the wall behind the iron - so your title draws attention away from the strongest textures, in my opinion. A more finely tuned crop would have also made this better in my opinion. Minor, but the iris is barely discernible at the bottom and looks like it may be in a glass container, but can't quite make it out. With all the textures available here, perhaps reducing the focus to just one or two, may have made this a stronger image in my opinion, especially for this Challenge. The lighting is nice.

7 - Oh, very nice. Angle, composition and color(s), very nice. For this Challenge though.. really wish the texture was stronger.

7 - Good texture capture and abstract. Looks like good control of the whites. A more finely tuned crop make this even better in my opinion.

Textures of a Wing

9 - Very nice. Lines, composition, color, depth and texture all very good. The only thing is the white something upper right corner, although likely natural, perhaps cloned out, who knows. Perhaps a slight variation in angle/slope and lighting may have given this a little extra, not sure. Perhaps a little more height too, but it might be that I'd just like to see it 'bigger' - if that makes sense.

From Fuzzy to Smooth

8 - Nice. Like to see more texture detail in the petals as well (and even more in the sepals etc), but difficult I realize. Nice colors and composition.

Cabbage And Carrots

6 - Good potential. More carrots (and variation in lighting on them &/or wetting them too), for added color and balance (else no carrot), a tighter crop, variation in composition (again for balance) and the 'something' dark on the left removed/cropped out, make this even better in my opinion.

Setting Sun

8 - Good texture capture of this dying sunflower. Few minor issues mainly bottom right 'fixed' and perhaps a slight variation in composition (not sure, works well as is), make this even better in my opinion.

Ephemeral

Comment:
9 - Very nice. Colors look great together. Nice composition and 'fade'. Perhaps a little more height make this even better, not sure, might just be I'd like to see 'more'/bigger. Fairly minor, but the slight grain back upper left 'softened' too. Nice.

Angel Wing

8 - Nice. Even with the 720(719) allowance, I'm sure this size doesn't do this justice. Nice concept and composition. Perhaps a fraction more height, not sure, as does work well as is. Dificult, but more definition in places make this even better in my opinion.
