Comment by GinaRothfels:
You have shown items of different textures, but not really from close enough to capture the texture.

interesting array of textures here... I can't say that the image holds a lot of subjective value for me though... = 5 - jmsetzler

Comment by GeneralE:
Might be stronger is you took a sample of each material and shot them in close-up without the labels. Disclaimer 1:I read the forums before getting to vote on this. Disclaimer 2: my entry needs about the same treatment...

I'm sorry to say this, but it looks like you wanted to capture a quick shot of stuff you were selling on E-bay. While these items represent texture, this shot doesn't demonstrate photography skills that I use as criteria to rate pictures. The image is not in focus, and your lighting/flash created glare on the objects.

Total Score7

For those that are just learning, like me.

Composition: Scoring in this area is based on basic composition of a picture and includes the rule of thirds, balance, cropping, and curved and diagonal lines. Subject matter that does not lend itself to the picture or otherwise unwanted is also considered here.

Originality: Scoring in this area is based on pictures or concepts that I have seen, as well as how much effort you have invested in the picture. Usually a little something that sets it aside from a snapshot. Does it make me want to come back for another look? You know things like that.

Technical Aspects: Focus, exposure, lighting, and other special effects (done by the camera), and post processing are all considered in this category.

Meets Challenge: This is based on my interpretation of if you, have/have not, met the challenge. This is fairly simple but quite important for this site.

There are many sites that can give you assistance in achieving better skills in photography, but I think the best way to learn is to take pictures and show them to other people. Believe me when it is a good one you will know it.

Good luck!
