A little too contrast for me but good cropping.

I like the subject and the exposure is good, if a bit contrasty. I think it could be cropped a bit at the top and bottom edges.

Naturally Textured

Excellent lighting and great capture of detail. I'm not crazy about this composition. I would rather see the smaller flanking one of the other shells rather than placed in the middle. I feel like the shells should be arranged to form the classic triangle shape a still-life painting. This arrangement looks a bit literal and soldierly to me. Also, I'm not sure if the reflections work that well, although they probably would if the shells were arranged more as a group.

Very good portrait and a handsome subject. Very direct and intelligent gaze. It draws you in. Great capture of the texture. Those look like the eyebrows of a Scot or Irishman. I wonder if I'm correct? :D I'm not finished voting but this should be in the top 5.

Got Lotion?

This is weird. I can't figure out what the black, shiny blob in the palm is. The missing digit really makes this odd. At first glance I thought this was a baseball glove. It's a very good capture of texture, I'll give you that. :D Very good lighting. I just don't relate to the asthetic (and I've been missing 1/4" of my right middle finger since I was 6 :D).

This is just too grainy, soft, and murky to me. I don't really get a sense that I'm looking at anything.

Interesting subject and decent capture of texture. I'm never crazy about extremely narrow cropping though.

Purple Shell

Interesting. I think the DOF is a bit too shallow though. That is somewhat a matter of opinion though. Lots of people like this sort of extreme blurring of foreground and background (bokeh?).

Nice freeze and an overall good photo but not quite capturing the texture, IMO. The flowers are a bit overexposed and I'm not seeing much textural detail in the bee.

Sheep in Sheep's Clothing

Very nice texture detail. The eye looks fabulous. I like the quirky cropping. It seems a tad contrasty to me in the area of the sheep's face.
