Nice color and contrast. The abacus alone might have been enough.

Lighting is great and the image is great. But there is something I don't like about the picture, but, I'll be damned if I know what. I know that comment like this is simply not constructive, but I'm trying to be as honest as possible. There is nothing wrong with you photographic skills, but this picture doesn't do it for me. I really wish I could be more forthcoming. Sorry, and good luckâ€Â¦

Could almost do better in the texture competition. I like the "newspaper look" about your newspaper photo. But what are the black areas?

The shot is on the dark side. The paper looks crinkled, was that on purpose? The shadows on the page distract me a bit. It's a very clear shot,but........

I think a whiter paper would be better. Good composition

Hmmm I'm not sure about this one. I don't think I like the black areas bottom right and top left. It's not a bad idea and I like the geyscale and the graininess, it makes the whole thing look a little sordid and dirty which I suppose it should. See how I like it next time I guess.

Could be a little too dark and not contrasty enough.
