I like the pattern and colors in this Stephen. I might sharpen it just a touch more or bring up the contrast a touch to emphasize the textures but it's entirely subjective.

Stephen: Well seen and captured. The color palette is especially pleasing. I'm trying to decide if I would like a bit more of the green on the top but if it meant losing some of the blue on the bottom I would leave things as they are. Nicely done.>=))>

Interesting texture, patterns, and coloring, Steve. Tell us more about the blues, please. They do look other-worldly.

Cheers,

Carol

This was shot in the shade and the blue tint is being picked up from the clear blue cloudless sunny sky. I almost took it out but I actually like the subtle tint ( at least on the print I made) :smile:

I like this unusual presentation of layers and varying colors. Good eye to see this. :toast:
