The winner so far. Temporary rating of 5 for sorting purposes only. After looking through all the photos in this challenge this one has the blue from me. 10! Back to add it to favorites. You're my only 10 because my top pick gets 10 my second gets 9 and my third gets 8. All the rest are 7 and under. This one has to be the blue for the challenge. Where is this anyway?

Feathered Satin

Good textures, composition and contrast. Color temperature in the bg from ambient light is giving red hue. It isn't bad if you intended it but it wouldn't be my choice. Looks like you used an on camera flash. Maybe a fill light from above at 5500 kelvin would help though.

Good texture, good exposure, interest, composition all good. Only thing to change maybe is dof. increasing it would make a better image imo. Overall good job.

A little increased exposure might work to bring in some more detail. contrast and colors look good though. The brown portions in the top left and bottom right keep me in the photo but maybe having something else... someplace to rest the eye and not just texture.

Its Bark Is Worse Than Its Bite

exposure, dof, contrast and colors all look good but there is no where to rest my eye really. Adding some item minimally to the shot would add interest and give the eye a place to rest and take a break from the chaos.

Standing proud, my licorice

I like your choice of dof and bg. A little fill light from camera right would bring in more detail in the darks of the "licorice". It's an upside down mushroom right?

I really like the colors and texture in this. Just trying to figure out what it is. It kind of looks like glasses reflecting potpourri?

Interesting textures. The whites are a bit overexposed but I like the shallow dof and where you have the focus. A little work in curves could bring this out a little more though. Well done.

It's a little on the small side but well exposed, Lighting and composition look good. Patterns and textures are interesting. Not a wow shot but still well done.

Maybe a little overexposed. The even lighting isn't bad but maybe some dramatic side lighting would show off the texture a little better. The colors are interesting with the alternating greens though.
