An intersting presentation. Good on the wall, and the shadows there, but the actual 'fitting' itself drifting so far out of frame seems perverse. Ther is some impression of a kind of deep-space occlusion of light, bringing a sense of the enormity of space to a very humdrum thing, but perhaps I feel that I'm having to force that kind of analogy to emerge. Compositionally excellent though - shows a thorough understanding of the movement of the eye.

Very small image, and what detail there is seems diffused anyway. Possibly an interesting composition, but very difficult to see at this size, and from what i can make out seems to lack any great impression of texture either.

Ice Cave

Excellent tones - that movement through blue from black to white is very fetching. Some sense of feel, but overwhelmed by the impression of a fantasy winter landscape. Good work.

Old feather collection.....

Comment:
Great texture indeed - I doubt that slight banding visible in the spines of each feather is avoidable in a digital image at this resolution. There seems to be just a slight variation in focus through the image - not like a shallow dof at all, but things in foreground are just drifting out of focud, which when its such a small amount is perhaps a problem, and the overall set-up is confusing, too disorganised, maybe.

3D Study in Orange

Interesting image - though I wonder if it isn't more about the set-up than the photography: that's certainly where the art is here, the photograph is just a good representation of that. Difficult teritory perhaps, but actually as photography this lacks something for me - which is any sense of texture in those spikes, mainly.

Pop Me...You Know You Want To

Good work on lighting, good rhythmic composition, but lacking some sense of real interest for me. Good detail too. Black and white useful to concentrate attention on texture rather than other areas.

Quite a good go at shooting a scene which includes a light source: the balance between that and the ambient light is quite good. That interaction of different colour temperatures allows us to see the textures, without losing detail.

Living Texture

Excellent composition, great demonstration of texture - object lesson in lighting, really. The rhythm of this allows for a near central composition very well, and to top it all the colour is wonderfully demonstrated. About halfway through, and this is probably the best so far.

Fish Out Of Water

What a find - and an ugly looking little thing too. Centred composition shows a lack of consideration in framing the shot - in fact has a real snapshot feel. Why exclude the range of rocks behind? Why not use the sea as a backdrop to it? Very intersting object, but quite poorly photographed.

Big Foot

Seems to lack the detail needed to really communicate a sense of feeling. Quite possibly that is because of the light - there just isn't that progression of light and shade needed to produce texture in images.
