Technicals: sharp, nice DOF, composition is reasonable for an abstract. The lighting is good, but not great. It is not dynamic at all. There is no interaction with the subject. We just get full on, no shadow, light. I seem to feel we could get a bit more with some increased contrast or angular light.

The feel: See lighting. I think this is what hurts the shot and keeps it from gaining a "wow" factor. The shot also lacks a "flow" or "feel". Abstract shots need something interesting in shape, color, or texture. This shot is too homogenous in all three across the canvas.

The game: You were rewarded for good technicals, but hurt by there not being a flow or feel to the shot.

Material of some sort, like grosgrain ribbon sewn into loops/frills. Not sure it is enough of a "puzzle" for this challenge.

The golden texture of a loofa sponge, man-made, of course at least that's what I think it is
