Ok, this will be the last one for tonight -- I'll make sure to do the rest tomorrow or Sunday.
If I were to say anything for this one, it would be lines. Lots and lots of lines :) Nice composition, I like the fact that it isn't perfect. And you can tell it is some sort of plant.
I'm not convinced about the desat -- it looks like a plant, my eyes feel like it should be green. But, that's highly subjective, so feel free to ignore me. My wife does all the time.
It seems to have good contrast to me, good mix of lights and darks -- I like it a lot the way it is.
My one major complaint is it seems to be oversharpened, or alternatively, at too low a resolution. The lines get pretty spotty and secondary patterns develop from the hotter pixels from sharpening. Kind of reminds me of an electron microscope.
How to fix it, I'm not sure. It is so simple and I'm afraid if it is any softer you'll lose the lines due to resolution. Interesting -- at first I found it kind of boring, but the more I stare at it, the more interesting it becomes.
EDIT: After posting, I looked at the thumb again -- you did a real good job with the tones and overall shapes and it comes out at lower resolution. It might be very pleasing softer. |
