This is an interesting pattern shot and the colors are great. I would crop a little tighter to eliminate the distracting white spot in the top left corner.
The pattern is so uniform that there is nowhere for my eye to settle. I don't know how to fix this though! Posted: 07/14/2026 18:19:07

Thanks Merv. You're right about the crop.
I think maybe I could use this as a texture background. I just have to start a folder to keep them all in Posted: 07/14/2026 19:08:37

This is an interesting photo. I agree with Mervyn that cropping a little more from the top to remove the upper bright corners would help make a more unified image. The textures is an interesting photo and I don't think there is much I would have done in editing either as I would be worried that to much editing would affect the qualities that make the image strong. I really enjoy this entry. Posted: 07/17/2026 17:28:50
