the shine in these is wonderful . . i wonder what this would look like as a black and white? just right amount of sharpening you added, too.. niec work.
Not bad. Pebble textures have been done to death. But you have still managed to capture the subject in an interesting way. Did you notice your reflections in the pebbles??
Well represented texture. Overall, a good shot. I especially like the smoother rocks that reflect back at you (show you, I think). Like so many of the texture shots (mine included), I don't like the lack of punch, surprise, reason to review, etc. Started you as a 6, but it's really better than that. 7 Swash
They almost look like oily coffee beans. I like this picture. The difference in sizes and the wonderful reflections keep enough interest into this picture and prevent it from being monotonous. Also like those very subtle color gradations.
Good focus. I think having something other than just the shiny rocks would have been neat as well. Maybe something bright red and with more of a rough texture, just for contrast. karmat
this is a really great texture and a really pretty photo. the only thing I would suggest is a center of interest. other than that, the photo kicks very much butt. great reflections, contrast, lighting.... can you post a large version of the photo? This would look sweet as a desktop picture.
