too bad people didn't understand the challenge. This conveys "texture" very nicely.

You're never going to be able to hand-hold a camera with a shutter-speed of 1/4 second. You'll need to support it either on a tripod, or on a pile of books or something solid.

could have been a nice image. good composition, but just too blurry.
12/31/2007 07:05:39 PM
OOF hard to see any texture in the fur.
12/30/2007 02:47:17 PM
Very out of focus.
12/29/2007 10:54:53 PM
This doesn't look to be in focus.
12/29/2007 02:26:16 AM
Wish something were in focus.
12/28/2007 04:25:27 PM
too blurry to work

The pic seems to be shaken and is fairly noisy. It has several pixelations, probably due to overprocessing or local overexposure. It also seems that the pic has a reddish cast, implying that your white balance is off.

It seems to me you tried to take a pic under conditions that your camera is not fit for. In this specific case, you might have used a tripod (or stack of books) to allow for a longer shutter time (@lower ISO), to get ridd of the shake and noise. You may adjust the white balance either in camera or in pp. Wish you more luck next time.

If had been in focus and a tighter crop, then maybe you would do better

Texture is lost in OOF. OK pet pic, but not enough detail to be good texture pic.

Nice take on the challenge. Unfortunately not using the tripod with this kind of light makes it too blurry.

Sorry, too much blur to the fur.
12/28/2007 12:35:55 AM
Your image lacks focus...

fockus
12/27/2007 09:32:25 PM
I think being somewhat out of focus limits the impact of the texture.
12/27/2007 09:22:34 PM
very good
12/27/2007 03:04:29 AM
too bad here is all out of focus
12/26/2007 11:10:20 PM
Out of focus completely, leaving me with no feeling for the softness of the fur.
12/26/2007 10:32:44 PM
Sorry, I'm afraid this entry is fairly lacking. I see a lot of visible blur, and some highlights on the left of the cat appear to be over-enhanced. The texture is just not going to show through this. Lighting (or lack of it) was almost surely the culprit here.

imo, the 'texture' in fur would stand out better if the photo were in focus. there is also something about the lighter orange spots on the left of the photo that don't look quite right. i'm really not sure how to properly describe it.
12/26/2007 08:59:28 PM
Too out of focus to see texture. Lighting unpleasantly reddish.
12/26/2007 03:05:33 PM
Nothing in focus is very distracting....
12/26/2007 02:05:00 PM
there should be more definition in the texture and the fur

I love all thing cats but your photograph is blurry.
12/26/2007 05:28:14 AM
Sorry,you need to get it in focus and watch the amount of saturation - definitely overdone - 3
