Comment by wenyao:
The photo looks a tad overexposed. While it conforms to the theme "texture", I do not see anything interesting to it however.

Comment by Journey:
Those white specks read more like noise than metal? You should have given more on the left because it was just going into a new shape and would have made the picture more interesting and cropped out more on the right.

For those that are just learning, like me.

Composition: Scoring in this area is based on basic composition of a picture and includes the rule of thirds, balance, cropping, and curved and diagonal lines. Subject matter that does not lend itself to the picture or otherwise unwanted is also considered here.

Originality: Scoring in this area is based on pictures or concepts that I have seen, as well as how much effort you have invested in the picture. Usually a little something that sets it aside from a snapshot. Does it make me want to come back for another look? You know things like that.

Technical Aspects: Focus, exposure, lighting, and other special effects (done by the camera), and post processing are all considered in this category.

Meets Challenge: This is based on my interpretation of if you, have/have not, met the challenge. This is fairly simple but quite important for this site.

There are many sites that can give you assistance in achieving better skills in photography, but I think the best way to learn is to take pictures and show them to other people. Believe me when it is a good one you will know it.

Good luck!

For me, I think tilting the pipe one way or the other would have made it more dynamic. The way it is, it seems kinda static. karmat

Comment by tmacan:
too much flare/reflection - try with natural, more difused light. Also, central position is not the best.

Comment by aripps:
lighting is distracting. need light source more from side to bring out the texture more with shadows
