Comment by Prism:
tile is busy all right. Sorry but your shot doesn't appeal to me. The lighting is flat and a straight on shot of the tile does not present it in a manner that provides visual interest. Perhaps a side shot with more indirect or natural lightling would have helped.

I'm sorry, but I don't think this was a good choice of subject. It's a tile and it's "busy", but there are many more interesting subjects in the world to photograph instead of someone's artwork. Good luck in future challenges and I hope you don't take this personally, but as the constructive critique as it was intended. feel free to pm me if you wish. 3

it's definitely a "busy" tile, but it doesn't make for a busy photo

I think you are not meeting the challenge in an original or creative way. Also find this image lacking deeper colorbalance and more sharpness.

Perhaps if you had taken a wall with many of these tiles it would have met the challenge more appropriatly as it is, to me anyway, you have taken a picture of one tile with a lot going on in it. So to me this is a picture of a picture. The background blends in with it to much for my taste and there is no one point of interest.

I guess this is legal since you show more than the tile, but to me it is just showing someone else's work.

you must have been running out of time and/or ideas to take a picture of a tile and then submitting it.

Comment by rebelgirl:
I think this is a wonderful idea. I do think it would have looked better w/out the paper. That's just me.

Meets the challenge, light skull on white background.
But, dark subject, very dark. Not a particularly attractive skull either.

Comment by persimon:
I think the crumpled up paper creates too much texture. It causes the light to do funny things I would have like to have seen the skull only on the faux fur background. 6
