I gave this an 8. A brave shot to enter and lovely to look at.

Im a fan of simplicity, however this one lacks interest. I'll place bets on this one finishing dead middle of the pack. GL.

INteresting textures. I like your cropping, too. The pattern differences are well placed.

Interesting effect, but it doesn't look like mud. (Looks more like gold paint!?!).

I would score this very high in an abstract challenge, but I can't tell it is mud without the title.

Looks a lot like the horse in the photo "Good Scratch". Complex, but all the same stuff (hair) so the patterns in the matt create flow and texture. Color is good too.

I like the rustic pattern here and colors. My brain can definitely recognize this texture - As I write this I want to know more about this animal. Very beautiful.

I've left this comment on a number of shots. I need a subject for my eye to rest on. This doesn't have it and suffers. 4
