This shot appears to be underexposed and out of focus. The composition might work if these other two elements were in place. Nice color scheme!

This is a very nice composition for the challenge. The colors are very dull though. I think that this might be a lighting issue, but it could just be that it needs a boost in levels... As far as the textures go, you need to be just a bit more creative in the lighting. Instead of from above, shine your lights in from the side. This would help to create more shadows and thus more depth.

This is a very cool portrait! I love the tones here. Is this a duo tone or tri or quad? If so, I would love the recipe! Focus is spot on for a portrait. Unfortunately for this challenge (textures) the theme has been de-emphasized here. A deeper DOF would help in this regard. Overall a great shot that I'm sure will not score as well as it would in another challenge...

Very cool! Wonderful lighting. My only complaint is that the stem appears to be a touch soft on focus. Love the crop. I'd have to say best of show so far...

A roll of paper towels? Nice texture, but your focus appears to be a touch off.

Is Curly a texture????

Very creative take on the challenge. You have lovely colors and textures within a larger (somewhat chaotic) texture. You are a touch overexposed in a couple of spots but not terribly distracting...

Nice textures in the petals, but the center part (pistol?) is flat in appearance. Nice overall composition and use of negative space!

Decent composition, but it looks flat due to unimaginative lighting. Bring in some light from the side and your popcorn might pop!

I'm curious as to which textures the emphasis s suposed to be on. I see more interesting textures in the background rather then the subject...

Isn't it amazing what a fresh snow will do to mundane objects? Nice shot.
