This picture really has character, I think. It looks casual, yet it is well focused (well, except for one spot), and shows the texture really well. Nicely done. karmat

Hmmmmm, I think someone is looking at me. Great framing and composition. The focus works very well here, and you have filled the frame nicely. karmat

Nature's Texture

Nice idea. I think it needs to be a little better in focus to be completely effective. karmat

I think a tighter crop on just the face and glass, if possible, would have worked well too. This is hilarious. karmat

Nice capture of texture. I think you've also used what shadows were available well; it gives it more depth. karmat

She Sells Sea Shells

I like this shot in black and white. I think if the really smooth shell on the far left (or it looks smooth) was between the starfish and the shell on the right, it would show the contrast of the textures even better.

Cement, of coarse

Comment:
It does have texture, and you have done well by having the "grain" move diagonally instead of vertically or horizontally, I think. It just seems a little monotonous. Maybe if you had added something that would contrast with both texture and color it would have more "grab appeal." karmat

quarters

Comment:
Reflective surfaces are soooooo hard to do well. You have an awesome idea here, and the background, though busy, adds another layer of texture. I think if you were to redo this shot, you should try it so that the light doesn't cast a shadow over the lower quarter. Maybe use two or three lights at different points so that shadows are eliminated. Secondly, and this is just a thought, use Ohio and NC's quarter because there have been "debates" over which is really the "First in Flight" state. karmat

I like the repetitious patterns here, though the colors don't do a lot for me. After looking at it again, I am bumping your score up some. karmat

Good color and focus. The white line gives some movement to the picture as well. It just seems a little flat to me. Maybe a different perspective would do something. karmat
