Those are gorgeous colors, but I can't tell if the fabric is just fuzzy, or if the picture is slightly out of focus or both. I think showing more giving more context to it would have made it more effective.

This is very busy. I understand that it is a square of a quilt, but I can't see the edges of the square very clearly. Focus seems a bit soft in spots.

Very colorful, this would probably be a bit sharper if you used more of the 150kb file size allowed.

Good colors. I like how the texture can be seen. I dont really see the square in this image. It doesn't feel square. Good job.

I'd like to thank everybody for their comments... just one explanation - I didn't edit this picture at all, that's the answer to questions like "what did you do with it" and comments about the "grain"... as far as the comments about darkness and gloom - that's exactly the feeling I was going for... of course, I would love it if all the comments were like the one from Becky, but I try to learn something from every one of them... thanks again!

PS: the suggestion about neatimage proved to be very important, i've been using it even since!

Right now I'm stuck betwee a 9 and a 10. The sky almost pushes it to a 10. I love how it goes from beautiful blue and bright to black and menacing. The framing with the weed in front and tree in back is great. Great one.

I'm sure everyone has already said that the grain detracts here. Additionally, the pins-and-needles feel of the brsh and the trees on the left really give the picture an unpleasant feel.

This shot lacks a bit of brightness. Tough because of the partially covered sky.

Comment by DougPaz:
A little too grainy, you need to get your file size up to the 150 allowed.

It seems pixelated in the weeds in front (over sharpened, maybe?) and there is noise in the sky. NeatImage (you can get a free download) is dpc legal and awesome at removing noise.
