Thanks Journey. All of my votes needed reworking after adjusting the calibration on my monitor. And I started liking my own shot less... I should have pushed the saturation higher I think.

JMSetzler, I tried it vertical, but my wife pointed out that it resembled a, ummm, welll, part of the female anatomy...

Just wanted to say that I'm really surprised this image didn't do better. Even now that I can see it's a palm tree, I find it very beautiful and interesting. What might have hurt you here is the title: perhaps it confused people. I didn't understand the title either but just ignored it (pictures should stand on their own anyway).
May I also thank you profusely for the update that you added to your comment on my pic. That really made me feel very good and I appreciated the effort you made there!

nice coloring and lighting and meets the challenge. Not very original tough.

Not entirely sure what I'm looking at but it sure is beautiful. Lovely variety. High visual impact. Love the subdued, yet rich, colors.

Total Score9

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 don't get the title. Good texture, but rather uninteresting. Sorry.

this is a very curious photo. it really made me stop and look at it- that's great! texture is well represented and i give it two thumbs up!

You DEFINANTLY got the texture part down...but...what am I looking at? This is the first time that I simply can't figure out what the picture is of. Luckly for you, I don't think that it would be right to vote you down on this, because hey, It does have texture! And I 'think' the color is pretty good, too. (It would be a hell of a lot easier to tell that if I knew what it was). Although I don't know what you photographed, I'm still going to give you a 7 just for the texture part
