You know, this is pretty good photo that I wish I could take, but I'm thinking it does not represent the theme. One, light is not 3-dimensional, nor does it have a texture in the traditional sense. I'd like to know your thinking on this. I'm voting it above average for the image itself, but taking some points off for not meeting the theme.
I moved this score up a number because it's a nice image, outside of the small area that is blown out. Looking forward to seeing you texture description though.
Not a bad go, of its type. Can't recall ever seeing one of these CD reflection shots doing that well here, which i think is a little odd given the prettiness of those refractions. As an interpretation of texture this takes some knowledge to fit in, and its an approach that I don't think many others have taken (nor will understand, I fear).
