Great silhouette. The overexposed parts of the water can be a little harsh, but the right side of the shot makes up for it.

Awesome! This is the first shot I've seen so far that just struck me as "Wow!" The sharpness is incredible. 10

Nice composition and choice of black & white. The subject seems a little obvious for the challenge, though. 7

This is a nice, clear shot, but it doesn't seem to have much interest for me. 6

I feel certain that you must have intended some symbolism or deep meaning here that I must be missing. Also, I don't see much that would count as texture, save for the can, but even it seems to be more dirty than textured.

Texture? What texture?

Wow, that's a pretty cool macro. I wish the tips of the wings weren't cut off, though. Cool shot!

Gorgeous color. Love the water drops and the angle of the leaf. The edge seems slightly overexposed against the black background, but overall, it's beautiful! Nicely done. 8

bristles in a paint pan

This is one of those photos that I like the idea, but something just doesn't seem to work in the execution. I really like the brush and the angle you have it at, but I think there's something about the paint colors that turns me off. I think it would have been better to have only the brush, and the left corner black, maybe. But overall, it's nice. 6

Bark - Ruff Ruff?

As far as bark goes, this is a pretty good shot. I can't say it's the best out of all the entries there are for this challenge, but it's got good focus and good cropping. Nice shot. 6
