 Regular yellow nylon rope in macro.

Yes I know there's dust on it. For the life of me I couldn't get it all off. :-P

The composition is nice. I like the diagonals. Lighting is good. Any more exposure, and you'd lose some detail in the highlight areas. As is, there's a good range betwen light and dark. I really like the decision to make this blue. It's a little more understated than yellow and puts the focus more on the repetition and lines while still adding interest.
Biggest gripe would be the soft focus in the upper left corner. If you had used a different angle so that it was obvious that some threads are closer to the camera then a shallow dof could be useful. As is, it looks like they are on the same plane so it doesn't work to have a section out of focus. The little hairs don't really bother me. You have such great focus in the center, and it IS a macro. The whole point is to show things as they aren't usually seen - beauty in the details - and I think you achieved that.
For this challenge, it's a great shot. However, for a portfolio... I think that you should do some sort of series. I can imagine this hanging in a grouping of 3 or 4 on a well. Each shot being a different color and showing a similar sort of close-up that focuses on texture and lines. Maybe you can keep that in mind and make it a work in progress.
Congratulations on the high score. It's a very simple, clean, and effective photo.

Nice pattern and a very clear closeup. You've met the challenge quite well. The monochrome adds to the picture.

One of my favorites for the challenge. I think a dark border would have made the shot stand out even more.

Good colors & light.

What a pretty shot. I really like the flow of you picture. The soft blue works really nice. The only thing I find disctracting is the little threads everywhere. Still an effective shot. Good luck. Jacko.

Nice take on the challenge. Good color, texture and pattern. A bit over-exposed in spots.

Even though this lacks any focal point, it is still a very dramatic macro and I love it. The only thing I might have changed is that you had a little more in focus in the upper left corner. The lighting is fantastic. 8
