My first submission. I found it really hard to find a subject to match the challenge - cudos to those that do it twice a week!
I set the scene in the kitchen (best light) the origional pic had 8 pipes but the 'texture' element seemed to be lost even with 8 different grains of wood.

Thanks for all your comments, I guess 4.2 is a decent starting point. If I get time I may retake the picture using your suggestions (focus is a pretty basic one lol). Looking forward to your comments in the fire challenge.
This is a very nice composition for the challenge. The colors are very dull though. I think that this might be a lighting issue, but it could just be that it needs a boost in levels... As far as the textures go, you need to be just a bit more creative in the lighting. Instead of from above, shine your lights in from the side. This would help to create more shadows and thus more depth.

The lighting is a little harsh. To soften it up, maybe use a darker surrounding, and use a small flashlight to light it while using a long exposure (if your camera does that).
thats a lot of texture,,, picture lacks sharpness in areas, but that could be my screen, blur in the top and softness maybe takes away from the details, good subject though.....
Nice shoot. You choose a complex set of subjects to photograph. The DOF may be grather if the principal subject is the pipe. The backgound is very distractive due to a diferent set of objects and colors. But the yellow bar may be your principal subject, it fits to the rule of thirds. Resuming, this complex set blows out some of the score..
Real depth of detail lost in that loss of sharpness - camera resolution, cropping or processing I've no idea. Kind of intersting subject, though rather chaotically organised - a very busy shot and the background doesn't help that at all. Close-cropping can be a great trick, but is only half-applied here.

+ There are textures.
- It seems focus is a little off. The yellow thingy distracts the attention from the pipe. I would prefer a more earthly tone to the subject.
