i like your use of lighting. however, while there is nothing really wrong with your composition, i feel it could be stronger. the perspective in your shot is rather normal. a more abnormal look at a normal object seems to make more interesting pictures.
I like this picture a lot, and it meets the challenge easily. Personally, I'd like a lower angle on the basket if it were up to me. Lighting is great, background sensational -- good job and good luck!
This is what a texture challenge should be like! Very nice lighting. You seem to have some (very minor) perspective issues, but I can over look that in this instance!

Elegantly done - wonderful wonderful lighting, which is enough to stand it out from the crowd alone. Communicates a great sense of feel. Beyond that, though, just a bit straightforward, perhaps? Sure, it's fabulously photographed, but it remains just a woven bowl/vase/thing. 7 for now.
This is well photographed and nicely lighted. I wonder what it would look like againsst a colorful background. The beige/brown seems to cry out for a bright color behind it! Nevertheless, it's a good take on the Challenge.
