Nice picture, well cropped. I find the braek in the lealfs, on the upper left side of the image, a bit distracting. Also, personally, I would saturate the colours a bit more.

Initial thoughts
I was surprised this ranked so low – I gave it a 7 and think it’s an attractive image.

Composition/ Content
I really like the strong lines in this image – in particular the beaded strip. I think the way It’s flanked by parallel lines from the stitching and edges of denim is great. I like the inclusion of the circle – such a different texture, colour and shape – but would prefer that it weren’t cropped as it is but more fully included in the frame.
The contrast between textures is what I really like – the denim itself, the beads and the metal offer real variety in what is such a tiny part of the pair of jeans.
I would have to agree with a comment below about DOF – In this kind of macro I’d rather see the whole frame sharp – instead of having the lower left out of focus as it is.

Camera Work - Technical
Good colour and detail capture. Exposure seems good. See above regarding DOF.

Digital Processing - Technical
I would guess very little has been done to this, it certainly doesn̢۪t look over processed and I can̢۪t see any compression artifacts.

Fits The Challenge
Yes.

Your Opinion On The Photo
Like it very much!

Comment by goodtempo:
a lot of color but the composition is named pretty well, the picture is a bit too jumbled.

Very seasonal, may be just a bit too jumbled.

What lovely color. The lighting is just right on this to bring out a lot of color. ALMOST a bit bright on the whites, however not bad at all. I really like how you have filled the entire photo with the subject. Great angle and framing/cropping. focus is also well done. Great shot. Good luck in the challenge.

It makes for a pretty interesting macro. I'm glad that you didn't oversaturate this like so many people would have. Nice composition with the angle making it a more intersting shot.

Very good macro. Very clear and detailed. I really like the button in the upper left corner and the beads flowing to the right lower corner. Great execution - details make the difference. Great job. PTL 9

Great texture. It loses focus toward the bottom. This might be better if the whole image was sharp, since it's so close up. muckpond
