I am not a big fan of posterization, and it seems that you may have put the cart before the horse--making texture instead of finding it. *4* -balynch

Brushed Metal

Comment:
The sawblade has a nice circular brushed texture that I find appealing. The left side of the frame feels lonely, though. Technically, the focus is sharp and the exposure is correct. The scratches in the "11" are mildly distracting, but overall, a good submission for texture. *5* -balynch

This is an excellent example of what makes a good B&W photo. Everything is tack-sharp and the detail in the starfish is stunning. *8* -balynch

Lack of detail in the shadows, but otherwise a great texture photo. *7* -balynch

Impressive! Looks like some type of thermal aerial photograph--I would have never guessed it was a cabbage leaf!! *8* -balynch

The multitude of textures make this a great photograph. Everything from the peeling paint, to the rusting metal, to the left behind imprints, and even the clouds come together to make a artistic photograph. The only negative comment I have is that I think the sharpening may have been a bit overdone. But you could not do any better in any other area. *9* -bryan

Concrete and Textured Titanium

Nice tone and contrast--the arching concrete provides a nice frame for the library. The only distracting element to me is the tree. Otherwise, a top-notch photograph with great texture. *8* -balynch
