This image improved greatly once I adjusted my monitor. Sorry about the low score all week, but I'm bumping you 1 point to a 5. I would have bumped you 2, but I hate the Mets :) Not fair? true... but neither is life :)
You probably had a reason for cropping the way you did but I fail to see what that is. On the one hand you say the logo is important (since there's nothing else on the image) but on the other hand you say it is not worthy of showing it in its entirety. This doesn't do much for me.
cool idea but a frontal shot tends to flatten the textures out a bit and loses the highs and lows...giving the material a more front to back shot with a background out of the focal range would add some contrast and interest to the texture....5...hokie
One of the finest photos of team wear I've seen. I'd look in the hat, see who the manufacturer is and sell this puppy to them for their annual report, next rade show display, press kit, etc. Formerly an editor at a national trade publication dealing with the sporting goods industry, I can say with some authority that this is a very marketable photo (IMHO). I've been in health care for several years now and can no longer give you a name of a decision maker. I'm sorry, because this is truly well-done.

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.
this shot could've benefited from sharpening, it would've brought out the texture much more. i do likethe colors and the texture in the shot, in fact, i think i would like to see more of the logo. also, was there a way of positioning this so that the TL corner would've been not just black background but more of the black fabric? -- gr8photos (3)
