I don't know how to be a quality photographer, so I take bad pictures and submit them to be humiliated. This was the first thing I saw that made me think of texture when I heard about this challenge.

I love Oreos. Good thing you didn't choose Vanilla Wafers though.....Focus could be stronger, but this is a great idea with a good choice on amount of background shown.
Very competent studio shot - high-key background is perfect, detailing is perfect, lighting is pretty good, though perhaps just a touch harsh, direct. Don't get a sense of the srumbliness of the biscuit, it rather looks harder than that, which I think is a function of the harness of that main light (from the shadow, it looks like a standard shaded desk-light. Subject a mite dull though - just an Oreo, huh?

+ Milk and cookies :). I remember those from my grandmother. Simple yet interesting photo with an emphasize on light, shadows and textures. The composition and POV are well chosen.
- Can't think of any.
Definately some texture here. I don't like the shadow though. You could try to place a light source on each side of the cookie and see if that lessens that shadow a bit. Focus and clarity look ok. I wonder too if you could try some kind of an interesting angle, or different placement within the frame. Kind of dead center. Not off enough to really scream dramatic angle. ~Heather~
I like your shot it's technically very good. However...it looks lonely, should be tilted up or your above. The shadow is a bother. I think the real and only flaw is the angle. 8 from me.
