Problem I had was with the composition. Each time I went inside to check out a few takes on the PC, my dog removed some of her toys and tried to hide them. My dog and I share everything: my house, my bed, my food, my car but NOT her toys!

i take it zeena is a doggie :) ... a little harshly lit and out of focus. if you upped the focus, for sure it would be a much better pic. nice effort :)
this photo has lots of interesting texture... I don't think the focus is quite right though... the 'stuff' in the lower right and the tennis ball look a little soft.. = 5 - jmsetzler
Subject didn't do much for me... You might want to try reshooting just the bones. While all of the toys have texture, they really scream texture. Also I'm not sure why, but the focus seems a bit soft. It might have happened in camera or maybe during the resize (I'm terrible at that) but 'texture REALLY needs sharp focus to work well. If you intended the soft focus, sorry, but for me it didn't work... But that's just me :)
NOTE : After adjusting my monitor, this image improved dramatically... Please ignore most of my comment above. I still think the bone would be better as the central theme, but most of the 'softness' was due to my monitor, not you. Sorry 'bout that... Bumping you 2 points to a 6
This picture is a pretty good picture. I find though, that the blur is a bit distracting and it could be a little sharper. Meets challenge- 7 creative-6 composition- 4 total- 6
You have a good idea, but the photo needs some more depth of field. Also, the rolled up toys in the center point out of the frame so the eye doesn't move around but just falls off the left side.
i don't think this pic is as visually appealing as some of the others (probably because is ee these same dog toys at my house daily), but i must say, WOW! There are a lot of different textures here and that was the name of the challenge, so way to go!
Inteesting arrangement of textures. I notice that the depth of field is such that the foreground is out of focus while the background is very sharp. My one caution is that generally one would have things just the opposite with the foreground sharp and the background defocused.
I love all the different textures. zeena looks like one lucky pet. it just seems that there might be a little too much to look at. if you focused on one or two of the objects, you might get a result that feels less busy. I hope zeena doesn't actually put her (his?) mouth on that nasty ball in the lower left. eew.
