Challenge: Textures II (Basic Editing I)
Camera: Olympus C-730UZ
Location: my home
Date: Feb 16, 2004
Aperture: F3.5
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/8 sec
Date Uploaded: Feb 16, 2004

Picture was taken at home on my kitchen table. Using black sheets and blankets to cover wall and table top.
Two bed side lamps for lighting.
I used a tripod as far away as possible to get good focus. (-+ 4 meters) and zooming in.
Aperture as low as I could.
Taken in TIFF mode for easy cropping

Eventually, picture need very little cropping and NO other changes were made.
What you see is what I saw.

I think you have done an excellent job on this challenge. I think I would have like the Hot Spots removed on the polished piece yet it does help define the texture.

Great piece of art. Nice texture contrast and great choice for background and light.

I think when objects are placed on black like this they feel almost as if they are floating on air. needs something to give it some depth and substance.

Nice texture. But, I would have like to have seen it cropped with less black.

A very lovely piece of art. My family has something similar but without the wood around it. Great lighting too.

Nice image & nice warm coloursm Somehow seems a tad soft, but still one of my favourites. May be marked down as the image is a little centered, but I think it works OK.

The 'floating in space' thing doesn't work for such an obviously weighty and real thing, in my mind. It looks too muc like it's simply an illustration, rather than a artistic work of photography. You light is a bot too overall even to be really effective on those texture also, for me - perhpas from a more extreme angle woth the key-light, or perhaps not filling quite so much might have let more come through.

Solid image - pleasing lighting. To make it better, I'd like to be closer to the two different textures.

It looks very 2D. I think you need a shadow in there to add depth.

This is photographed well enough....lighting, simple background, focus is okay. It just doesn't hold my interest.

This needs to be cropped in much tighter, IMHO.

Beautiful textures in the stone and in the artwork it surrounds. Nicely photographed and presented. This piece of artwork fits the texture challenge, but could use (in my opinion, of course) something original from the photographer to set it off.

Getting closer to the subject, so taht the texture was even more prominent would have made this shot very nice, I think. It is an interesting subject

A contrast of textures and colors .... good use of space and placement. Border works well too. One of my top picks - good job.
