Nice find on this shot. I like the shine on the rocks adds a bit more to the image.8

lovely overall texture but no focus

Not bad. Pebble textures have been done to death. But you have still managed to capture the subject in an interesting way. Did you notice your reflections in the pebbles??

Well represented texture. Overall, a good shot. I especially like the smoother rocks that reflect back at you (show you, I think). Like so many of the texture shots (mine included), I don't like the lack of punch, surprise, reason to review, etc. Started you as a 6, but it's really better than that. 7 Swash

What kind of stones are they? They looks like hematite.

I can only think of one word to describe this shot - glistening! Almost perfect, 9.

Very nice design, very sharp and well exposed. Would also make an unusual self portrait.

Very cool. The shine on the rocks adds to this photograph.

nice 3D effect. 6 beegee

A bit monotone for me. A contrast of some sort on one of the thirds lines would have made this pop a bit more.

They almost look like oily coffee beans. I like this picture. The difference in sizes and the wonderful reflections keep enough interest into this picture and prevent it from being monotonous. Also like those very subtle color gradations.

Good focus. I think having something other than just the shiny rocks would have been neat as well. Maybe something bright red and with more of a rough texture, just for contrast. karmat

I've always loved shots like these
07/22/2002 07:11:00 PM
Nice and sharp. Good contrast too. I like the idea and the water on the rocks. Looks cool. How would it look in B&W?
07/22/2002 06:34:00 PM
beautiful, good tonal range
07/22/2002 11:32:00 AM

Wow. Love this abstract looking shot, wonderful. Kee

this is a really great texture and a really pretty photo. the only thing I would suggest is a center of interest. other than that, the photo kicks very much butt. great reflections, contrast, lighting.... can you post a large version of the photo? This would look sweet as a desktop picture.
