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 Ruthann
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
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 Aesthetics...6 Meets Challenge...6 Overall...6
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.

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.
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!
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
