Interesting composition, Rob. I like the intersecting corners and placement of the dots (pips?). I think your score got hit for two things:
1) There's no real detail in the surface of the die. That's just a fact of life with this subject. But one of the joys of macros, at least for me, is seeing details I wouldn't normally be able to see.
2) The lack of detail makes the whole face look blown out, which is a sizable portion of the photo to have no detail.
Still an interesting shot, though! |
