Whisk!

Good fine detail, and exemplary modelling of the shape of this thing with your lighting, colour rendition good too. Somehow it doesn't really suggest texture to me - perhap either because the painting of it (I presume that's how it gets to be grey) masks that, or perhaps because the light is just s touch too general: almost all shots which really display texture have more directional lighting than this. Cerainly one can see the different teypes of stuff - I'm talking about the really tactile quality one gets in some photos however. Nice work though.

Flower Texture

Very good. compositional use of the petals is top stuff, detailing and sense of feel on the opened bud is wonderful, high-key functions well, and balance within frame is spot-on. Greetings-card pretty. And I'm no fan of Flowery greetings cards :-)

Delicate Texture

Good work. I think you've cropped too tighly to these stamens though - not given them room to breath in the composition., especially on the sides. Pity you couldn't have kept some of the pollen off the petals too, but that's a hell of an ask - but then this kind of shooting is for absolutelperfectionists, and that perfection is quantifiable in these terms. Still good work though.

Very good on the texture here. Good rhythmically too - and the slight progression of light, both in intensity and angle across frame is effective. Kind of thing that would make a good tiling pattern, but simply doesn't have enough to hold my interest long. technically exemplary though, nevertheless.

Might almost be a plastic orang for all that one can tell here: reflecting the light from a surface, rather more impactfully than simply illuminating it, thends to lend things a certain plastic look, although it can emphasise shiny metallic surfaces too. Here it's removed the organic quality from the subject, for me. Not an attention holding shot though, i fear.

Very good texture on the stone-work, and I quite like your title - almost the most insignificant detail in frame, and yet without it it would eb so very boring. Good colouring - that velvety purple-blue emphasises the stone nicely.

Good shaping, and works well for a simple rhythmic composition. The progression of light across frame adds a sense of interest, although not quite enough for me: it remains a pretty pattern, but not striking enough to really grab me. excellent detailing, and certainly fitting. 6

Cape Coral

Weird - this might be the first time i've ever seen a shot here lit with on-board flash that actually works happily - those shadows serve here ot emphasise the depth of the scene, rather than flattening it out as with so much careless work. properly controlled too, not murdering the sense of texture at all. Good detailing, and good toning too.

Good light here - especially effective on the towelling surfaces. A touch confusing with that panel or whatever it is in the background, but it serves to provide some balance at least.

Good on the fuzzy furriness, good on the black and white, and an interestingly high-tech approach to take to a kiddie's toy -like the contrast of subject and presentation. Almost think he might have an Uzi hidden behind him. Mean.
