Frayed

from the critique club:

What went wrong here? It happens to all of us. Here you have a good amount of diagonal lines and a ball well placed. You accomplished the intent of "frayed", but the image fails to pull the eye. It is all in the choice of lighting.

By looking at your port I note that you are very competent in hamdling light. Your TP is a winner, right into my favs.

This image is a nice composition but I think you should have addressed the lighting with one of your unique ideas. This would certainly benefit with the use of backlight, however, I leave that up to you.

It is very simple: you had a very good idea and you made a good composition...you simply did not spend enough time with final outcome.

TP is your bench mark. Always try to top your best next time around.

Nice macro. Good composition and use of the background. In the part of the world I live feet as a measure says nothing. Hard for mr to associate with the challenge. 5 for a good photo!

Nicely done. I like how the brightest spot isn't on the edge of the frame, but there is a falloff towards the corner.
