Kiwifruit

The nature of the pulp of the fruit makes it difficult i think to see where this comes and goes in terms of focus, and that makes it difficult to see any detail of texture. There is a sense of mushy pulpiness to the image, but that alone is not enough to hold this viewer's eye for very long.

Nice shot of fairly common idea here. Doesn't really capture the texture - it doesn to an extent, but not in that profoundly interesting way that a more directional light would - and I don't mean very directional, just more so.

Whilst there is some sense of texture, I get no real sense of contrast from this - it looks simply underlit, or exposed, although I'm sure your white points are indeed white.

200% Macro of Hip at f/45

Comment:
200% depends on the screen resolution with which i'm looking at it, actually. excellent composition, good detailing, high-key lighting very well done, though the reflections in the ball of the rear-most joint don't maintain the cleanness of the rest of the image. Good texture too.

Quite good work. A touch random looking in your framing and composition, and the hard reflections remove some sense of fineness of texture, but there is a good sense of depth. Good colours too.

Atificial Flower

Like the apparent sunlight effect on this - and yet with what appears to be a very direct light you've still captured a good sense fo tactility. Compositionally though it's a bit awkward - very centred, and there isn't enough interest created in that 'flower' to hold the eye all by itself - too many different planes taking the eye of indifferent directions without anything to bring it back. Not bad though.

feather texture and color

Actually doesn't communicate much sense of texture to me - perhaps the way you've poushed the levels and contrast don't allow for that sense of fine detail that would do that. It's an interesting and very assured photo, don't get me wrong, but leaning a touch too much towards the graphic (and therefore two dimensional), than the photogrphic, if that makes sense.

Interesting image - even if that's a printed background, or an in-exposure zoom out, it removes the real attention from the flower and promotes that explosion as the main source of interest. Nice shot though, nice graphic. Surprised not to see a validation note on this by now.

Worth pausing to look longer at. I find the composition a touch dull - and the clipping of that circle to the right very annoying - why cut off the only thing that interrupts that flow of rounded squares? It wa a gift for this image, and you've disregarded it. Good sense of feel, but the weighting of areas of interest within frame leaves something to be desired for me.

textile texture

Looks to have been taken with on-board flash, which is absolutely a recipe for wiping out the texture here. All we see is patterns, no sense of the feel of the materials. Looks absolutely flat, so sense of a third (depth) dimension.
