Some cork-and-wood coasters on a table, lit by two cheap 11W tungsten lamps. Cropped, adjusted curves and USM applied. Tamron SP AF 90mm f/2.8 macro lens.

I find this a confising composition - the geometry of these forms is displayed in a slightly too busy manner, with the weight of the composition perhaps too heavily pushed toward the right of frame. Good tonally, and the focus is fine, but whether it's the lighting or the fine detail something has removed a sense of real texture from this to my eye.
I really, really like this rendition of the Challenge. You took something 'ordinary' and made it very special. Like the composition very much, but wish the lower left was in better focus, nevertheless, fine job. 7
