Interesting subject for a texture. I know what the texture is but its not from looking at the photo. The lighting isn't that well planned for staged shot, looks like its a single light of flash.

An interesting idea, but you don't get close enough to really experience the texture of that sandpaper.

Total Score7

For those that are just learning, like me.

Composition: Scoring in this area is based on basic composition of a picture and includes the rule of thirds, balance, cropping, and curved and diagonal lines. Subject matter that does not lend itself to the picture or otherwise unwanted is also considered here.

Originality: Scoring in this area is based on pictures or concepts that I have seen, as well as how much effort you have invested in the picture. Usually a little something that sets it aside from a snapshot. Does it make me want to come back for another look? You know things like that.

Technical Aspects: Focus, exposure, lighting, and other special effects (done by the camera), and post processing are all considered in this category.

Meets Challenge: This is based on my interpretation of if you, have/have not, met the challenge. This is fairly simple but quite important for this site.

There are many sites that can give you assistance in achieving better skills in photography, but I think the best way to learn is to take pictures and show them to other people. Believe me when it is a good one you will know it.

Good luck!

This is a great idea! The chart at the top is a GREAT idea, the paper at the bottom, also great, here's the but, I would have liked to have seen more of the sandpaper. The center section of the upsidedown sheet only takes away this space, in my opinion. The sparkles in the sandpaper are a nice touch, could you have accented them more? Started with a five, talked up to a six, best I could muster! Swash

I don't get it. Poor lighting.

Nice selection of papers, but they are obscured by the boring back of the sheet labeling what I'm seeing. If you laid it out again, with the ali-gator-grit logo where the black sheet is so that the photo was converging lines of color with a snip identifying the item...I think you'd be happier with your composition.

hehe, funny idea and funny title. however, i'm wondering if you could've just let all the different sandpaper types speak for themselves, the back of the one sandpaper doesn't really add much for texture (except maybe explain what it is i'm looking at) IMHO. -- gr8photos (3)
