Strangely, I find myself liking this after I got over the initial 'ugh' factor. I like the fact that you've included as much context as you did, but the sand, which may be the best textur point is *almost* lost. 7.
I like the texture of the sand, the little grains of different colors are great. You shouldn't have put your subject in the middle of the frame, offset it a little to the side, and up or down..
Hehe, I like the photograph.. I can't tell how you're pushing the idea of texture here in the image.. If you're referring to the sandy beach, I guess I feel that it sits backseat to the fish as main subject. I can't score you too well for the image but I'll give you a 5 anyway.
Interesting choice of entry. Take away the fishhead and crop away the water and cliffs on the top and I think you would have a very good entry with regards to the theme... But it is a pretty cool picture... Kind of like it...

+ You are brave to submit this photo; I think not many people will it very much :). There is more than enough texture present.
- Composition could be better. The rocks in the background should have been included more or if that wasn't possible you should have chosen a different POV. At the moment it is a bit of a mixed bag: what is important the dead fish or its surroundings?
What a find - and an ugly looking little thing too. Centred composition shows a lack of consideration in framing the shot - in fact has a real snapshot feel. Why exclude the range of rocks behind? Why not use the sea as a backdrop to it? Very intersting object, but quite poorly photographed.
Would have liked to see more of the rock outcroppings in background (rather than chopped off) to serve as a complete backdrop to the dead fish. Flaked-up sand around fish and small piece of seaweed distract, but don't add to overall picture. There's no penalty for placing fish head elsewhere, right? ;)
Two suggestions. One the main subject is too centered ----and ----two the top of the rocks are cut off. The sand and rocks alone would of been a good example of texture.
Not too many will find a dead fish very appealing. I wish you luck in the challenge.
