Gold Nugget Stamen

Space Face · Sep 8, 2021

I thought these stamen heads looked like tiny gold nuggets (about a couple of mm across). Nice colour combo too imo.

I would love this but the nuggets don't appear sharp enough for the main point of interest and one is crowding the frame imo but I love the colors.

Cheers. Yeah, I accept that. Only noticed the similarity when I got the pic up on the PC. Probably cropped in too much and lost a bit of detail.

curious if there might be some quality loss between your full size view and the forum jpeg display

There is definitely. I didn't want to use that as an excuse but I've noticed a rather conspicuious loss of IQ in uploads recently. Unfortunately, we can't upload the original size files due to Forum limits but there is for sure a degredation. Dunno if it's the Forum software or what. I've changed nothing at my end in how I save images on my PC.
