texture?

wez130 · 22-07-2005, 17:22

If you're a judge on ocuk, don't comment please as i'm debating this for the new competition.

Question is, does this image shout 'texture' to you? I quite like it myself, one of my better efforts i'd say but what do you think?

thanks for looking.

needs more definition on the texture, i have an example here somewhere i will dig out

i cant find the shot i had, probably on the other cd, cant be fussed with trawling through DVDs tonight..

its a pretty good shot on its own though, that much is certain

Have to be honest, doesn't really say texture to me...

I quite like it myself.
However if you mean texture in an artistic way i.e. the representation of it's tactile quality then I think there are some flaws.
It appears to be way over sharpened and perhaps too much contrast in the B&W areas of the image. For me this detracts from its tactile qualities.

Otherwise a very interesting image.

Sorry to be a bit negative, Wes.

Cameron

To me, it whispers texture but shouts Peacock feathers which detracts from what you're trying to achieve. It's a good picture in its own right but I think it needs to be much more abstract so the actual subject doesn't become stronger than the texture of it.

you being the argumentative type who is bound to mention any number of shops that sell the same stuff as them would almost certainly get a suspension/ban very quickly!
