OK so it isn't really marble, it's a bit of screwed up printer paper.
I wonder if this will fool anyone?

After 230 comments so far, I'm finding that the shots I score higher have great texture like yours does but also something else in the shot to break up the monotony of the texture. This is well done overall with great lighting, good dof choice for the subject, good contrast.... technically it's good and it fits the challenge. It just needs something to break up the monotony of the shot.

Looks like crinkled paper? Well recreated but the photo really has nothing eye catching for me. The texture seems very uninteresting.

i think this shot would work well as a layer in photoshop. very nice texture. it might benefit from a little bit more contrast

Terrific light and shadows to emphasize the texture. Well done! 7

At first I thought this was crumpled paper even though the title told me otherwise. On second look I see it does look like 'rock'. I'd have given it a 10 but it seems just a tad bit soft. As is: 9

Nice abstract with lots of texture; reminds me of a crumpled old piece of paper.

Effective use of lighting, but the central part of the image has much better grayscale tone than the rest. It's very detailed, but in a unbusy way which is very effective. It's a well composed and framed image with sharp detail giving an impression of texture in a unique way.

Pure texture indeed. Could be mountains, rocks, paper... there is no scale, that makes it completely abstract. Works well in B&W.
