Texture of a rose

Comment:
very nice rose shot, maybe the best of the challenge, but i think more sharpness could only help here.

Rugged To The Touch

Comment:
excellent photo, i really like the choice of black and white. the biggest problem, for me, is that while the girl can surely feel the texture of those bricks, i can't. i also think that her skin and shirt used to have more texture before neatimage got ahold of them. i really wouldn't change anything technically or compositionally for this photo, as a photo in general, just maybe to fare better in this challenge.

Beautiful inside?

Comment:
i like the colors displayed here and also the lighting, however i don't like the way the kiwi is completely out of focus on the left. maybe take a few more shots next time while varying the depth of field

Hungry yet?

Comment:
yes, i am very hungry now... i like the pure white background and the nicely saturated colors. my biggest complaint is the lack of definition in the flower petals. on a minor compositional note, i feel like the napkin/placemat disrupts the balance... all in all good job, good luck!

Comment:
i like the idea here, however the composition seems a bit crooked, and the lower left ball a bit overexposed... too bad you can't dodge and burn

i love the dof and the colors in the out of focus background, however the texture seems just out of reach for me to really be able to "feel" it. maybe if it were just a tad closer...

Torn Curtain

Comment:
excellent, original subject matter. i am glad it is not an elephant's posterior. you can definitely feel the age of this curtain.

Ribbed spiked and studded

Comment:
this photo has a grainy, over-sharpened look to it that doesn't work for me. i do like the composition and the shallow depth of field, but i would have liked it a little less shallow. overall good job

there are many leaf photos in this challenge, however yours stands out, mainly because is has a lot of visible texture. the only thing i would try to do is extend the dof all the way to the foreground.

the photo has an overall hazy look to it. there are many ways to fix this in photoshop. you can PM or email me for a few of my favorite methods.
