This certainly meets the “texture” part of the challenge, but, it could use a single point of interest to make good use of that interesting texture as background.
Daringly minimal photograph, and really won't do well here I'm afraid. I like your thinking though. That graining doesn't, however, register as a function of texture, perhaps because its so very fine - it reads more as eithe patterning or even possibly just digital noise. I certainly wouldn't have said it was paper without your title, I must say. Interestingly different submission though, thanks.
The super shallow depth of field doesn't do justice. You can see a slight band of texture but not enough to really give you the feeling of it. Maybe using less light to give the surface some shadow would really make it pop and a less shallow view.
