Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted January 18, 201129 views5 comments
I have this giant fig tree in my backyard with leaves as big as my head - and I have a big head
Love the challenge of finding natural beauty just steps from my door. Felt like this one fits the textured theme. Enjoy!

Nice texture. Nice pattern. Nice color. Nice focus. Nicely lit. I really like the way the veins come together between the ribs. Highly observant of you.

Very nice example of finding the beauty in the immediacy of your surroundings. I think the patterns and textures you've captured are great and the composition of the shot is quite effective in the way the lines lead one's eyes across those patterns and textures. If there is a nit to pick it's this: my eye tends to move toward the convergence of the veins in the UR which seems just slightly soft when compared to the rest of the image. A small matter when considering the whole of the shot.

Like your mission of finding beauty at the doorstep. This is so important in our busy lives.. You have a classic, nice picture here.. A tiny problem I have is with the slightly soft top tenth.. I would like to see it all sharp, but it's a tiny nit

Easy fix--crop the top for a nice diaganol, all sharp--problem solved!
