I think this is beautiful. Great contrast in colors and textures! The spiral is perfect and all looks very good in this shot. Maybe some better focus... but overall I love it.

I think I would have liked this better if there had been greater depth of field. The spiral carries your eye without needing make any part of this out of focus.

has a weird optical illusion to it with the spiral going off the page, kind of like, is it spiraling in or out feel to it. The depth of field is bothering me, I wonder if it would be better with it all sharp in focus...not sure. Got a hair or something bottom left but I'm sure everyone has mentioned that. You got good detail and was able to get nice and close but the salt doesn't offer much in the way of interest to me. Good luck.

great idea - looks gret except for the - cat hair? I really like this photo and initially gave it a higher rating until I noticed the reflection of the mesh of the fabric and the white line near the bottom left. I would try this one again on different fabric

Nice macro shot, would've preferred slight bigger DOF. And watch that white hair front left.

Its nice... was one of my ideas too. Just wish that focus would be in middle of picture.

i think the pattern and the DoF should cooperate more - focus should be on the middle of the spiral because that's where the eye is pulled to.
otherwise, excellent.

Could've been a bit more sparkling I think.

I'd like to see more of the salt in focus. I think there is a hair or thread that is distracting.
