This was a shot I took after going down and photographing the sunset. I found a sand dollar and decided to snap a few shot of it, and this is what was produced. It is meant to show the texture of sand and the sand dollar (although I don't know if everyone knows what the feels like). But the sand is a very cool texture.

Your light setup don´t help you to reveal the textures of the subject. To reveal textures the light must be in a hard angle setuped to do it. A common setup is a lateral 45 or 90 degrees. But top or down light works well too.
I appreciate shots such as this. I love the lighting and I believe it is quite effective in making the subject pop out as interesting. The texture of the sand is wonderful. Very nice shot and good luck!
This is a really nice, calming shot. Could have benefitted from some work in your graphics package. Seems a little sharpening would have brought out loads more details. The left hand corners seem a little dark maybe?

+ Composition is nice; I like the contrast between the colours and the rough surface versus the smooth one.
- Can't think of any.
There's a suggestion of evening about this - the warm and cool light from either side, and also in the tones of the sand. A sort of mourbful image, i think. Probably not eye-catching enough for dpc, but nice work, and thanks for sharing it.
Although this feels generally smooth - it has great texture. Good use of space and contrast. Border works well to pull it all together. Only wish the star on the sand dollar was more distinguishable. One of my top picks - good job!
