I also think your score suffered a bit because the object isn't readily identifiable as a tire. I might have guessed it were the bottom of a boot, just based on the title. I DO like the tonal range, from the very dark in the upper left to the rather bright in the lower right. I think the image suffers from the lack of sharp focus to the right of the line that runs from top right to bottom center... is that the edge of the tire? If so it looks like everything to the right of that is beyond the very shallow depth of field. That line of the tire-edge itself is also working agains the image IMO, dividing the photo into two disconnected sections.
Last suggestion: I think you should include the technical details (shutter speed, aperture, ISO, etc) in your submissions. It can be helpful for viewers for learning and for commentors when critiquing.
I didn't score this image, but would have given it a "6". It does communicate "texture" but IMO is a very subtle representation of that idea; not a bad thing, but not a contender to me. |
