Strangely, I find myself liking this after I got over the initial 'ugh' factor. I like the fact that you've included as much context as you did, but the sand, which may be the best textur point is *almost* lost. 7. |

Interesting shot, but I wish the fish was a bit more to the right of the picture. |

I like the texture of the sand, the little grains of different colors are great. You shouldn't have put your subject in the middle of the frame, offset it a little to the side, and up or down.. |

Hehe, I like the photograph.. I can't tell how you're pushing the idea of texture here in the image.. If you're referring to the sandy beach, I guess I feel that it sits backseat to the fish as main subject. I can't score you too well for the image but I'll give you a 5 anyway. |

Ooo.. Gross. The sand 'Texture' saves this shot. The fish gets you originality. |

Yeah, I feel like that sometimes too... |

Quite disturbing.... The texture of the sand is interesting, but the composition doesn't emphasize on it. |

Interesting choice of entry. Take away the fishhead and crop away the water and cliffs on the top and I think you would have a very good entry with regards to the theme... But it is a pretty cool picture... Kind of like it... |

Actually the sand on the beach makes great texture, the fish head, I think hurts the photo more then helps it. Good luck. |

[World Record Attempt]
+ You are brave to submit this photo; I think not many people will it very much :). There is more than enough texture present.
- Composition could be better. The rocks in the background should have been included more or if that wasn't possible you should have chosen a different POV. At the moment it is a bit of a mixed bag: what is important the dead fish or its surroundings? |

That is a very smelly texture. I don't think this will sell many prints :-)

talk about anti-DPCish. interesting find and a nice bold move by posting it. |

I might have cropped this a bit different. Background is a bit distracting to me. Like how you captured the texture of the sand. |

What a find - and an ugly looking little thing too. Centred composition shows a lack of consideration in framing the shot - in fact has a real snapshot feel. Why exclude the range of rocks behind? Why not use the sea as a backdrop to it? Very intersting object, but quite poorly photographed. |

Nice attempt here. I would have composed it with the fish not being centered and used a fill flash to knock off some of those shadows a bit. |
|

Would have liked to see more of the rock outcroppings in background (rather than chopped off) to serve as a complete backdrop to the dead fish. Flaked-up sand around fish and small piece of seaweed distract, but don't add to overall picture. There's no penalty for placing fish head elsewhere, right? ;) |

I would have cropped it vertical, with the smelly thing on the bottom third line. |

GROSS!!!!! But still a 6 for me. |

Interesting. Looks like a very nice spot for pictures. I'm not sure that the fish adds anything besides "shock value" though, aestically speaking. |
|

Two suggestions. One the main subject is too centered ----and ----two the top of the rocks are cut off. The sand and rocks alone would of been a good example of texture.
Not too many will find a dead fish very appealing. I wish you luck in the challenge. |

lots of textures in this shot and the fish actually ads a little color nice photo. (7) |
