Initial thoughts I was surprised this ranked so low – I gave it a 7 and think it’s an attractive image.
Composition/ Content I really like the strong lines in this image – in particular the beaded strip. I think the way It’s flanked by parallel lines from the stitching and edges of denim is great. I like the inclusion of the circle – such a different texture, colour and shape – but would prefer that it weren’t cropped as it is but more fully included in the frame.
The contrast between textures is what I really like – the denim itself, the beads and the metal offer real variety in what is such a tiny part of the pair of jeans.
I would have to agree with a comment below about DOF – In this kind of macro I’d rather see the whole frame sharp – instead of having the lower left out of focus as it is.
Camera Work - Technical Good colour and detail capture. Exposure seems good. See above regarding DOF.
Digital Processing - Technical I would guess very little has been done to this, it certainly doesn’t look over processed and I can’t see any compression artifacts.
It makes for a pretty interesting macro. I'm glad that you didn't oversaturate this like so many people would have. Nice composition with the angle making it a more intersting shot.
Very good macro. Very clear and detailed. I really like the button in the upper left corner and the beads flowing to the right lower corner. Great execution - details make the difference. Great job. PTL 9
Nice. I like this, good photo, clean, clear, crisp. Blue denim....Cool. I guess I would of liked the full Lee button, but then that's me. Nice job. Justine
