This photo screams out texture to me. Your composition is good, as is your lighting.

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!

I really like your photo, compositionally it's one of my favorites. There is a lot of latitude in the highlights and shadows and you did a good job of capturing the best parts of both. You kind of shot yourself in the foot though by submitting such a small file. This kind of picture should be brutally sharp and if you had used the whole 150k it would have been better.

I bet this thing as some stories to tell! The colors are good, but I think it is framed a bit tight on the left side, at least for me. karmat

Wow! This photo has almost too MUCH texture! It's interesting, but my eye can't really find a place to focus because there's so much detail. You really captured a panorama of textures in this shot.

This is a great photo but it looks a tad bit out of focus.

Great subject but somehow it's alittle flat. I think it needed more light - perhaps a fill-in flash held off to one side or something. Or maybe more colour.
