I liked the textures and pattern of the threads in this knotted piece of cheesecloth which was attached to my camera bag strap, hanging next to the computer, so I took the camera out of the bag and took a few quick handheld shots of it.
Minor tone adjustment, curve on the Blue/Yellow channel to whiten the whites a bit (shot under incandescent light); a couple of dabs with the burn tool at 8% opacity to take care of some spots producing slight glare; three passes with USM set at 66%, 0.6 dia; TH=5; JPEG=7/10

The texture is great and it has a lovely flow. I think I would have scored it higher if there had been something to indicate it's size and if top of the cloth been in the picture.
Not a very appealing subject to me but it is photographed well. I've got to hand it to you though, you made cheesecloth look like a work of art. Good job.
texture is one of the things that makes macros interesting, and you have some nice texture. however, the lighting seems a little hard. also the subject isn't as interesting, past the texture, as other subjects in the challenge.
I like this a lot. The flow of the cloth leads my eye around in a pleasing way. Very nice use of negative space. Non-stereotypical subject helps a lot and provides relief from the bugs. Hope it does well.
