| This is an excellent shot and probably perfect. I am surprised of it's score despite the good placing, it should have placed higher. I guess people are biased and forget this is a photography contest. |

from the underneath of the Crtique Club
Technically, there is nothing to criticise here, of course: great detail, definition, light and so on. Especially given the sutter speed. The problem comes with entering essentially an architectural shot into a texture challenge, despite the wording of the challenge details. I've done that myself, and there's no point bemoaning it, even to yourself, just learn the lesson and get on. Folks just aren't really going to consider it suitable, I fear.
One other thought that comes quickly to mind: your chosen aspect ratio, and the inclusion of that lower wall and the flag, make this shot more about the building perhaps than the texture of the decoration of the dome itself; a bit of judicious cropping, to emphasise the textural elements of it, might have helped your score over the 6 mark. |

| Not what you'd expect for this challenge, but the texture is certainly there. Interesting composition, great detail. |

| Beautiful capture but to me this doesn't scream texture. The lighting and perspective is great. I might up the sat of red in the flag. Would make a wonderful postcard for DC. 7 |

| I think you should have cropped out the rail or veranda bit at the bottom. Very nice though. |
