Since no one will ever guess what this really is, I'll tell you. It's a screen door, at night, with a little shaky wristed action going on.

haha i can't believe how many people rated this poorly. maybe i should have used the full version. people complaining about it being out of focus? give me a break. there's nothing for it to be in focus on in the first place. the image (since it's a time lapse) isn't based on anything real to start with. obviously you didn't know what it was, but still, i think people's idea of what 'texture' is is skewed. :P

here's a scaled down version of the original. //anomalo.us/temp/DSC16366sa.jpg

Maybe i'd like it more if i knew what it was, but w/o knowing, I see more blur than I'd like. 4 sjgleah

This looks like one of those shots that is probably great art, but over my head. It was interesting certainly. But definitely over my head.

If it wasn't for the title I couldn't have guessed what this was, maybe it has a lot to do with the "soft focus" (being generous there)

I see it, but I still don't understand it. This is a really nifty Macro! Soooo close!!! What is it? Why is the right side lighter than the left? (-1 point) I need to make a note to look at this after the Challenge week, gotta know what this is! The odd lighting is the only thing about this I don't like, so you stay at 9. (what IS it!) Swash

I like the repetitious patterns here, though the colors don't do a lot for me. After looking at it again, I am bumping your score up some. karmat

Total Score7

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!

This would make a great texture :) ** sorry background texture for pc, is what I meant**

Great abstract. I love the repetitive pattern and the color.

This picture needs to be a bit lighter (5) AquaGoddess12880

Interesting shot, nice repetition and color fade.
07/24/2002 04:49:00 AM
what is it?
07/23/2002 10:33:00 PM
As an abstract, this is a really interesting shot. As a texture, it's a little less appealing. Very interesting tones, though. Overall good entry.
07/23/2002 10:06:00 PM
interesting abstract, but the lack of focus doesn't interest me in this particular image... = 5 - jmsetzler

extremely abstract. something about the color of this is sort of uninteresting ..

Abstract!

interesting

I really like this, but maybe just a little more focus.

i'm not quite sure what i'm looking at here. overall, too blurry. i think if this was in focus, i'd like it even if i wasn't sure what it is. -- gr8photos (2)

tough one for the focus, I guess. it looks very organic and makes me wonder what kind of barbs they actually are - will find out next week. 5 beegee

kinda nice but can't tell what it is.
07/22/2002 10:01:00 AM
I like this. Kee

Using out of focus elements to show texture is kind of disorienting and adds confusion,textures should be in focus.
