This one appears soft in the edges as well. I do like the cracks in the center though and the roundness again. I think if the whole thing was as sharp as the upper left corner it would be awesome.

I'm on dialup so it is taking me a bit of time to pull up each photo, but so far this one has been my favorite as well. I love the fact that you can tell it is round and the different textures of the center versus the edge. This is really beautiful to me. I love the warm tones.

Ahh, I see the first one was a crop of this one? I see now why it looked a little soft. This one does a little too, but I like this one better. Still I would love to see the whole thing sharp to make those textures pop.

Awesome to see some more trees in this challenge! This seems a little oof especially in the upper left corner. I love the abstractness of this larger version, but I prefered the thumbnail because the softness when your zoomed in doesn't enhance the great texture.

Awesome texture Sherryl. I love the smoothness of the tips of the coral contrasting with the rough textures o the rest of it. Beautiful.

Wow, way to use the technique to the benifit of the final image! Very nice! I love the contrast in cold/hot that I get from this....like comeing in to a warm fire after being outside in the cold all day!

Texture 1

Very interesting composition, I would have never thought of taking a picture of a traffic sign for textures, but it works so well and great textures. I love the contrasting tones, and lines. Th bright yellow and white is distracting on the bottom though and I wonder if it could be rotated in any way so that you could crop but still leave the great black lines in? Either way, great shot.

An amazing photo! I love all those wonderful textures on the wall contrasting with the smooth steps. I think it would have been a little "cleaner" and more pleasing without the grass in the foreground, but it is awesome nonetheless. Great start on the texture challenge, gonna be hard to beat that one!

long road ahead
