I think it's pretty cool... gave it a five because it's not really greatly in focus, but is still very interesting and well composed. I feel your pain, though, Shez... my "Benches" shot is at 4.x... *sigh*

I definitely thought that this was reptile skin. It has great texture.

Rubber? Sneakers? Cool patterns. Uneven lighting due to subjects surface.

Shez, you put a lot of work into these shots. I, for one, love your creativity and look forward to seeing your work so please don't stop doing them. They are unique, crisp, clean and perfectly focussed. I agree with Peter bassbone that this one would make a great Valentines Day card.
Love and ((hugs)),
Irene

Awesome work as usual Shez! I KNEW it was your shot as soon as I saw the thumbs before voting. It would make a great cover to a Valentine's Day card.

Hi Shez, We have a museum here in the U.S. in Sanibel Island, Florida called the Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum. There is collection there of "Sailors' Valentines" that your art really reminds me of. Have you ever heard of this art form? They are quite unique and beautiful, and the photos don't even do them justice.

Take a peek ....

Reptile skin?
Strange.
Needs something for a focal point.
