White Bush

Seem to be a lot of these bushes sprouting through snow type shots. This works neither better nor worse than the majority, for me. doen't convincingly speak of texture to me, and graphically I don't find it a pleasing image - too much confuusion, and not enough organisation in the elements of it.

Tooth Picks

The best so far of these rhythmic compositions. Real sense of texture in those wooden points, and a real sense of movement through the image. Sufficient regularity to work as a composition, and sufficient small differences to create some visual imterest. No fear of the simplicity of it, either. Good work.

Ice Age - again... ;)

Good abstract - good toning. Don't really get a tactile sense from this though, so much as a patterning, though there is an impression of roughness and smoothness, on a longer look. Not a strong sense though - I feel I may have willed it to be there more than been shown it.

Fuzzy lil' Friend

Good sense of the surfaces, and effective depth of field. The compromise between filling the frame with the thing and getting all of it in has left an unhappy situation with those bits that go out of frame, for me. Slavishly following the 'thirds' rule requires a little more balance in the other half of the frame, in my view, and here here is really nothing going on there.

The wall of textures

Comment:
Good toning, and good colour capture. Slight barrel distortion visible in that bar at the bottom. The 'real' texture of the wall is too much masked by the graphic though, you haven't quite got the balance of that painting and the real structure right to my eye.

She Sells.....

Comment:
Despite the focus, there is a sense of differing textures here - or perhaps more accurately differing shapes. Not convinced by the compositional arrangement of them though - seems quite bluntly organise dinto two bands, and the lines and forms don't lead the eye comfortably through the picture. 5

Paper Tapes

Comment:
Good sense of texture here, marred by a confusing and overly busy composition. There are too many different planes of paper, too many shapes angling in different doirections to give any real sense of flow through the frame.

Tombstones in the Graveyard

Comment:
Small image, indistinct detail, and very poor lighting - on board flash IMO never looks very inofrmative on close-up shots. Even were it more clear, that flash would I suspect have wiped out any detail in the textures here.

Harmony in stone

Comment:
The 'floating in space' thing doesn't work for such an obviously weighty and real thing, in my mind. It looks too muc like it's simply an illustration, rather than a artistic work of photography. You light is a bot too overall even to be really effective on those texture also, for me - perhpas from a more extreme angle woth the key-light, or perhaps not filling quite so much might have let more come through.

Coral

Good illustration of this surface. Rhythmical subjects like this I think either need to be incredibly regular, which this isn't, despite the intricacy and repeating of those patterns, or have something to distrub that pattern to work as a composition; and that element is missing here. I do like the progression of light across the surface though. Just a sense throughout the image that the very finest level of detail is missing - camera, processing or shooting I couldn't say, but it might well be a functions of being a hand-held shot, it has that feel to it.
