This was one very textured photo. Every inch is texture, and they are all different. Very nice composition. 9

Just the picture of the log would've been superb, but the overall composition is good.

"I kinda lichen yur maos." The resident devil made me do it. I myself took lots of moss and lichen pics this last weekend in the Uinta mountains, it was cool.

This is a beautiful shot, but the almost unnatural greens are a little bit distracting to me. Looks like the color sat was turned up a hair too high. Don't get me wrong, it's still a great shot, I love the detail. Nice job. 7

Perhaps there would be more 'Circle' impact if this was taken from the side on and a little earler to reduse the interferance of the smoke.

I like the leaves, but I do not see much detail in the spider...assuming that was to be the subject of your macro.

Composition: 4, Composition is a little weak. Could have used a bit more of an angle in the leaves (e.g. try tilting the image 30-45 degrees and see what you get). Also, the subject is dead center which is the most static place to put him. Remember the rule of thirds to help make a more dynamic image.

Technical: 5, Fairly sharp in the leaves and in the spider. Background is out of focus (good).

Appeal: 7, I do like the repeating pattern in the leaves and the color is awesome. Just wish the image itself was a little less static (composition would help out here)

Challenge: 5, Nice close-up. A more macro version of the image would focus more on the spider. You could perhaps even crop 1/5th off the top and perhaps about 1/4th off the bottom just to add emphasis to the subject (make the repeating pattern of leaves less important and the spider more important).

Overall Calculated Average Score: 5, Okay image... not bad picture. Colors are nice. Could use a little better composition and a closer crop.
