| nice texture... i can't say that the overall impact of this image is grabbing my attention. I like black and whites with nice contrasts like this one if the subject is grabbing me. = 6 - jmsetzler |

| Well, Texas, you're right, this is a color pic. There are huge amounts of grey that might make some think this was B&W, but the browns on the right would either be spot editted (illegal here) or heavily "played with". Here is the downside to bringing your shot to "the group's" attention. I had originally scored this shot as 7, I saw lots of texture and I wasn't certain how I would sway. Your shot is well taken, texture is clearly displayed. Framing isn't a factor. Now, you get the less objective stuff. Is this interesting (w or w/o the challenge)? Not really, unless maybe you are a geologist. Would I voluntarily come back to this photo to review it? No, not really. Would I hang this photo on my wall if given as a present? Sorry, still no. So on a photographic scale, yes, this is a 7, give or take a point. On the estetic (sp) scale, no this is more like a 4 or maybe a 5. So it cost you a point from me, in calling this shot to my attention. 6 Swash (have a nice day!) |

| I'm big on taking "side angle" shots, but I suspect you may have been limited here by the surroundings not matching the appearance of this area. A cactus in the background, a sunset, or even a rain cloud would have added a lot to this for me. 7 nards656 |

| This does indeed look parched. I think more light, to cast more shadows, or boosting contrast would make it more interesting and give it more depth. karmat |

| I like your picture very much, it's an excellent example of texture. I only wish it was brighter. If you had made the lightest parts white while keeping the shadows black it would have been much more dramatic. |

Technical Aspects7
Meets Challenge8
Total Score8
For those that are just learning, like me.
Composition: Scoring in this area is based on basic composition of a picture and includes the rule of thirds, balance, cropping, and curved and diagonal lines. Subject matter that does not lend itself to the picture or otherwise unwanted is also considered here.
Originality: Scoring in this area is based on pictures or concepts that I have seen, as well as how much effort you have invested in the picture. Usually a little something that sets it aside from a snapshot. Does it make me want to come back for another look? You know things like that.
Technical Aspects: Focus, exposure, lighting, and other special effects (done by the camera), and post processing are all considered in this category.
Meets Challenge: This is based on my interpretation of if you, have/have not, met the challenge. This is fairly simple but quite important for this site.
There are many sites that can give you assistance in achieving better skills in photography, but I think the best way to learn is to take pictures and show them to other people. Believe me when it is a good one you will know it.
Good luck!

| I think you should've played with levels more to bring things out and create a more interesting atmosphere. |

| Try shooting on the same level of your subject rather than looking down on it ... it will give a better representation of the texture. |

| I'm not exactly sure why, but i like this particular picture. the texture is fantastic, but it seems a little out of focus-(it doesn't distract from the actual photo though, which is good) the idea itself iscreative and a little abstract and i love the name! great job! |

| nice texture capture, but I would have preferred the coloured version to bring out perhaps the sand/dried mud colour to further emphasise the dryness. |
