A collection of files from my toolbox, a pair of gloves all on my back deck railing. Tried 6 or 7 variations on composition and cropping. Handheld macro shot.

I like this shot. A bit bright, sharpened a good bit (to enhanve the textures...), nicely composed. The pic was 'tilted' during cropping to get the files at an angle. I also like the board's texture. The gloves are there to block the background as well as add another texture. I tried tighter and looser crops, and, well, at some point it becomes a judgement call. Thanks for the comments.
neat - but you need to look at your lighting - this angle is from pretty much the same direction as the camera, and that really gives you no chance whatsoever to see the texture nor to capture it photographically. The composition is quite strong basically, but the confusion of elements, and the lack of visible sense of surface really hurt this entry.
I like the different textures you have here adn how they all "slope" down from top left to bottom right, except the bottom left hand corner, which sets up a nice contrast. I think something in the upper right hand corner besides space would have made it feel more balance.
