Greetings from the Critique club

hmmm, this one is difficult to comment one.

The colour is good, and it is an interesting idea. That said, I'm afraid the shot itself is not really compelling.

Possibly a different lighting technique would have created some drama, or a different angle. Illuminate from a side more to create harsher shadows.

As this is, it is a good study of the leather but there is no WOW factor.

Including the snap is a good idea, but compositionally it doesn't quite work.

I don't know what this is, but what comes to mind is that if you could bend it and have the snap be profiled and cause the leather to be more, rough (for lack of a better term) it could be quite interesting.

Remember, these are just my ideas..

I hope this helps.

a bit harsher light, and maybe a different angle would bring out more detail in the textures i think.

interesting

Lovely structure, great to include that one button, maybe a bit soft in focus on the left.

What about composing the whole press-stud into the photo? Would be a nice element following the rule of thirds. :-) The leather is well captured, great idea!

A wonderful texture and I like the focal point of the silver opening. I feel composition would be stronger if the silver circle were further into the frame rather than touching the edge.
