Decorative bundles of sticks and straw used for home decor. I've always liked the way they complement each other.

Hi from the Critique Club --

The patterns and textures in this shot are just wonderful. I love the way the lines are all perpendicular, but don't interfere with each other. Very well composed and executed.

My only suggestion to help this out would be to try to bounce your lighting off of a white (or other semi-reflective surface) in order to minimize the glare. There's a large hot spot right in the center of the frame, and a couple of other shiny areas throughout. Bouncing light onto the subjects would result in fewer glares and more even lighting throughout.

Congrats on an excellent score and a great image.

Rob

Nice textures and attractively saturated colours. I'd like to see it pulled back a little.

no real focal point here, but it has good detail, and a nice range of shades.
