Oregon Mussels

Hello there fellow Orygonian. Love the purple colors. Maybe an improvement could be more of a thirds composition instead of centering the mussels.

mmmmm. Great shot. Not noisy, good comp, good contrast, well exposed. Hmm... I like to try to give something though for improvement. I do like the composition here but maybe it would be better to have recomposed and put it more to the bottom right. I'd have to see it that way to know for sure. Just a thought.

After 230 comments so far, I'm finding that the shots I score higher have great texture like yours does but also something else in the shot to break up the monotony of the texture. This is well done overall with great lighting, good dof choice for the subject, good contrast.... technically it's good and it fits the challenge. It just needs something to break up the monotony of the shot.

I like it. Texture is the subject but it isn't monotonous because you have added interest with the large water drop on the top right and I like the colors here.

Very well done. Maybe just a touch more contrast in curves.

Nice job. This is one that works really well with shallow dof. Some of them don't but this one does.

Little Pieces of Texture

The color temperature (white balance) isn't attractive to me in this one. It's also a little flat so adding some contrast might help it too.

Well lit to bring out the aging of the hands. I like the stop clock in the shot too.
