Focus is good, but the subject is rather dull, and the lack of colour doesn't help. Interesting composition.

For this macro challenge, I'd have tried to zoom in a little tighter so that the main gourd almost completely fills the frame to emphasize the close-up effect. That would also show the detail in the two flaws better.

How can I say this nicely? Seriously? Too boring. Bad crop. Too crowded. Is sharp and and clear but that's about all it has going for it. Sorry 3. PTL

I'm sorry, but I'm missing the ghost part, are you referring to the color of the gourd? 5 Swash

Good eye. Most folks would not have noticed.

No real colour to catch the eye so the picture has to rely on texture. I think it suffers from being front lit - cross lighting would have brought out more relief. Framing on the lhs is a little off as well - I think it would have been better either to give it some space or close in tight like the rhs.
