No doubt there is a pattern there. Something is missing though...

Comment by gazdi:
Simplicity is great sometimes. Seeing a basket, aiming straight at it, using flash as light source and pressing the button is a good start. But then, one should think like "ok I have the shot, how can I improve it?" Try getting rid of direct light, change the field (and maybe depth) of view, postprocess your shot to emphasize the speciality of the selected pattern, do anything to grab the attention of the viewer. Oh, and the common word: it's small. You have the size limit of an old monitor and the filesize limit not much less than the total memory of an old video card, so use it.

Nice weave. Would have liked to have seen it larger, to really check out the detail and sharpness.

Thank you to everyone for your helpful comments. I'm planning on purchasing a dSLR soon (I loved my old 35mm SLR) and hope I'll be able to finally get the pictures to show up the way I plan. The manual modes in the A70 is just too limited. Thank you.

Can Darth Vader swim without his light saber? Definitely unusual.

The white balance seems to be a bit off. The milk looks somewhat pink on my monitor.
