Great colours in here! Did you try maybe finding some wool with different textures? example: some wools are very very fuzzy while some yarns aren't fuzzy at all.

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!

Comment by FranziskaLang:
lots of color, and all in focus. good idea for the texture challenge. now, if only you'd had a rat poking its head out! ;) seriously, this is a good entry for the challenge, but the photo itself doesn't do anything for me because there is no specific focal point. and i'm not sure how to suggest a change. -- gr8photos (4)

I like the way you didn't make the focus too sharp to evoke the fuzziness of the yarn.

Nice colorful composition with lots of interesting patterns. I think that a bit more could be gotten from it by applying some unsharp mask.
