Hi,
Thanks for all the nice comments. I know this picture wasn't really the perfect shot for texture, but I wanted to post it because I thought it fit abstractly and that it would be different from the norm. It's true that usually texture needs light, but I think this shot shows texture too, in a different way.
ciao

Beautiful photo, but again I don't quite see it as in the correct category "textures".

Great shot! Love that black against yellow contrast, and nicely integrated with the sky colour.

Lovely shot but can an outline show texture?

Interesting choice for texture, great colors for the background. I feel that the silhoutte doesn't emphasize on the texture.

Love the color gradation in sky as a backdrop and plant's silhouette still shows texture well even in 2D. A different idea from "the usual". Nicely done. :)

Hard to show texture with a silhouette! This is only shape. Pretty color, though. This would score well under a more appropriate challenge.

Beautiful sky and good focus, even though it is a shadow shot, the texture is still very prevelant. Well done.

a nice picture, I just didn't think it fitted 'texture' as well as others did.

I like the use of the sillouette here. Very nice and not something I would think of for a texture shot, but it works here.

I think texture is a reach.....I can see some in the flowers, but its tough to really "feel" texture...i do love the pic..amazing colors. 6

Very nice silhouette, well placed in the frame with respect to the sunset.

You get my vote for 1st place. I would also like a print of this.

I've written on another shot that silhouette is the antithesis of texture - and here you go and prove me wrong. This has some strength compositionally - triangles in the stalking of that plant lead the eye around nicely. The blurred background bush is a pity, especially against such a colourful sky - as soon as the attention goes from the silhouette, its lost.

The silhouette works well with the sunset tones... good image.

interesting composition and GREAT light. Texture seems to be the third element of this photo.
