What first strikes me is the exposure, it is well done, for sure, I would consider giving it a little pop with the curves however.

Generally as a rule of thumbs, shots taken in this composition seldom work well, however, you have a shot here that is an exception I feel, I love how the edge is sharp, you can almost feel the texture in it. The depth in this is outstanding.

I can certainly see you running with this style and I HIGHLY encourage you to explore more with it.

Check out the work of Michael Brown for some inspiration [link]

Stunning texture, yet it seems to be velvet / red carpet texture. Almost sensual because of deep red(definitely my favorite color) Thanks for sharing. Very well executed.

Good lighting is the key to a good macro shot or a tripod and good shutter speed for the situation

wow, aside from being blown away by the macroness, very nicely composed. the little white triangle at the bottom does become a bit distracting after a few moments though. has it been cropped or is this the full image?

yamiyalo In reply to irethkalt [2009-04-16 02:55:22 +0000 UTC]

full image no crop and thank you very much I was wondering about that white corner myself I could not decide if it added something or took away from the composition
