Pre-challenge notes:
This entry is a bit of an experiment. I'm not totally sure if it fits the concept of triangular composition. Perhaps it does, as the central triangle seems to draw my eye up and to the right. However, nobody can deny the obvious triangles in the printed patterns and the division of the fabric's folds. I'm looking to see how many commenters will consider it as suiting the challenge theme. On the other hand, perhaps I am my own worst critic.

I also was forced to use more compression than I liked on this, and there are obvious compression artifacts showing. I was able to just barely get the artifacts to an acceptable level by doing some detail killing noise reduction. The full size version of this has some great texture detail in the fabric, but it only caused problems at a size of 640 pixels. I'll post a link to the larger version when the challenge is over.

Post-challenge notes:
Here's a the full size version on my Flickr page. large size is 1280 pixels

I didn't expect this to score highly, but I am curious if it was due to the compression, harsh midday lighting, or DNMC.
