I very much like the idea and the composition. Although it may be intentional, it is too dark for me - I can't really enjoy it (and yes my monitor is adjusted correctly). It is a great photo, but needs a little work. 7

| depth of field loses the detail in the foreground |

| Interesting focus. I like the blur in the foreground (normally I don't). And like how you have actually caught several different textures at one time. don't know if you use any post-processing, but if you can, it might make the picture have a little more zing if you brighten it up a little by adding some saturation and brightening/contrast. karmat |

| The sun needs some more depth of field. Also, it's a bit dull. |

| good choice of framing for this one. Brings out the texture. |

| Needs greater depth of field. Also the lighting makes it quite dull. Perhaps you could have done something with the contrast, saturation or lightening tools to brighten it up. |

| This is an O.K. Macro shot. My issues are: it's a bit dark and the depth of field isn't as wide as I would like to see it. The lower and upper 1/4 of this shot are out of focus. I know the shot would have been a little lower interest, but straight on would have avoided some of this. 6 Swash |

a bit dark, but nice composition. it makes for an interesting image. some ppl may complain about the sharpness, but i like the fuzzy foreground. it adds depth. i wish it had a bit more color... ~mcmurma

| This has some rich textures. However, the photograph would be more successful with the levels/curves kicked up a bit, and the saturation (for yellow and a bit on green) boosted. Was it a cloudy day, or did you take this indoors? Nice idea, good texture, bad lighting. |

| I really like the idea, but I'd like to see this much brighter and bolder -- better lighting? levels adjustment? |

| Could be a little lighter, but I still think it's a very neat photo |

| I like the concept.. probably would have backed off a little and played with the depth of field a little though. |

| Colours are very weak. Good close up though. |

Total Score6
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!

| I really like the texture and the angle you've captured here, but it would be nicer to see the colors brighter and more vibrant - some extra post-processing would do wonders for this! |

| A trifle too dark, but nicely composed. |

| good idea, but the colors look a bit funny to me and a little more light & DOF would have helped, too, IMHO. try less jpeg compression, too and see if that gives you better definition - I'd expect it to. 5 beegee |

| good texture but this photo definitely needs some more light to make the colors punch... = 5 - jmsetzler |

| The idea is good, but it needed more light and contrast. |

| Nice photo but its a shame that it isn't in focus |

| My eye is bothered by the immediate foreground being out of focus. |

| The "texture" is great, but I feel that the picture is too dark. |
