Comment by Jacko:
A little more focus on the centre would have made this shot more interesting. Nice idea.

i have one of these, and know their texture very well. Unfortunately it does not come through in your photo. the focus is too soft, perhaps using a tripod or making sure your cameras macro mode (if it has one) is engaged. also the image itself is a bit plain, getting much closer (just the table or a portion of it) would show off the texture in the wood better and make for a much stronger image overall, i think. ~mcmurma

Comment by FranziskaLang:
i think this is a beautiful item you bought at the yard sale, but it's blurry. i'm wondering whether you tried to go for a soft focus here (the color of the background works well for that), but i would really have preferred the item to be in focus. sorry. there's also something protruding into the picture at the top left, maybe a chair leg? -- gr8photos (3)

Comment by Manic:
I'm sure this has already been said, but it needs focus! :o) The lighting is good as far as I can tell, though perhaps a lower angle would have picked up more of the relief across the surface (but its hard to tell without the object in focus).

Comment by BAMartin:
The subject is interesting enough from a texture standpoint, but there needs to be at least one thing in focus to draw the eye. What ever is in focus becomes the subject, and without that, there is no real subject and the eye wanders without a place to stop.

I'm afraid your camera wasn't up to the job. the picture looks like it's got terribly soft focus, at least. might even be slightly shaken, I don't know. I see what you try to do texture-wise, but the technical quality of the shot ruins the concept. also, try to make the file as big as possible, i.e. close to 150 KB to lose as little as possible of its definition. 3 beegee
