I took these today out on my deck. I was looking for textures, and these two were the only two I liked. Granted, the first one isn't actually a texture... I'd like to hear your C&C.
I decided on B&W for these, because I thought the actual colors were pretty drab and boring. I also can't help but feel like the coloration was a little off on number 1, but I'm not sure what needs to be corrected. Or maybe the detail on the leaf is a little too flat? I don't know, but something seems off.. It seems good when viewed independently, but then when side by side with number 2, the "off-ness" becomes apparent. They were both also just a tad soft at high crop. I blame my unsteady deck for that one, seeing as how it hangs out from the third floor.. On number 2, I'm a little worried I went a bit too high on the contrast. Anyway, thoughts?
