I like the way the rope is tight together and the sheen off opf the rope.

Yummy shot!
I like the creative approach. Good composition.
But.. looks a little soft and the exposure looks a little over. still a 7 for me.

I like it. I think it may have been even more effective if it were a little sharper and the light a little lower to give more contrast between the threads.

I like the lines and diagonals but I really do not like this color.. I would have liked to see it in BW or sepia, maybe...

This has the potential for being an interesting abstract but it looks a bit soft and is lacking in contrast. This gives it a kind of hazy appearance becuase there is no true black in the image.
